GI: car detailing

[vblanche]

Hi,

I thought to get some feedback on a GI for car detailing...for people (like me) who don't have all the proper equipement to do a proper car wash, polish and waxing.

thanks

[chinsterr]

Depending on price/location i would be in . Have you checked out any places and asked for a group rate ?

[S.F.W.]

I'm going to have Justin detail my car again this year. He did it last year, for a great price, and even better service.
Your choice, personally, if the service and price are good, I like to keep my business in forum.

[vblanche]

Have you checked out any places
There are some places like GTA In Detail (http://gtaindetail.com/) or Dans Detailing (http://www.dansdetailing.com/) but I would prefer to have more feedback on these ones or other ones.

and asked for a group rate ? not yet, not sure how this could work.

Really, I started this thread to have some advice if it's do-able...

but for sure I will have my car done.

If Justin is ok to do it for new member...I would of course prefer a TM3 forum member (even better, an administrator) to do it...I'll be happy to help also. Should I pm him?

thanks

[BLKOUT]

id be down for a detail.....any idea what Justin would charge? What does he consider a detailing session? i want to get mine clayed and waxed.

[S.F.W.]

I'm not sure of his rates, but I'll get him to post up something later today.
For me, he pre-washed, then clayed my car, then washed again, then did the 3 step wax, and then buffed. Interior, he shampood the carpets, cleaned and treated the leather.

[WildEmu]

Wax is planned. Polish?

[justin]

Polish... can do.

[vblanche]

Hi, How much will you ask for a complete detail including polish? how long will it take? where do you work?

thanks

[justin]

Complete detail includes a 3 step wax with paint polish. I neglected to add that in.

Estimated time to complete job is 5-6 hours. I typically work from the customer's place.

[vblanche]

Ok, thanks for your reply. What do the customer need to provide? hose?

[justin]

Ok, thanks for your reply. What do the customer need to provide? hose?

An electrical source and a water source. I'll bring everything else.

I'll see if I can get those swirls out... waxing might not do the trick, we'd have to hit the paint with a special solution for that... it takes a bit longer to do (+30 minutes) and costs a bit more... we can talk about that after we've done the 3 step wax.

I replied to your PM as well with available appointment times.

Edit: I just looked through my box of toys... jesus... I need to restock!!! HA HA HA!!!!

[ArManI]

i dont know much about detailing, does this wax/polish takes off the angelhair, and light scratches? or a failed compound results? (got a light scratch on the trunk and tried to compound it myself with a friend's aid, but apparantly i didnt do a good job so eventhough the light scratch was gone, but left with a spread area of noticeble result of different color compared to the original paint... hope i explained well enough)
does this wax thing egal to compound? ( when i did compound i had a light sand paper to takeoff the scratch and the round machine to wax the compounded area with some sort of solutions.. i was just followed the instructions of my friend)

[doughboyr6]

No can do, as I work full time. I can, however, fit you in on the weekend. Let me know which day you are interested in and I'll reserve a slot for you.

[argos]

Depending on price/location i would be in . Have you checked out any places and asked for a group rate ?

please PM me if group detailing is available.

[argos]

hey, i just found a detailing shop

www.autodetailking.com

has anyone got their car done by them?

I don't know. i think based on websites, only GTAinDetail seems promising....please let me know if you got your car done by AutoDetailKing....

Thanks in advance.

[S.F.W.]

never heard of or worked with auto detail king. However, if you read their services description, it appears to be taken directly from Autobahn's site. Except they changed the was name from "worlds best wax" to "the greates wax on earth"

ahh, good observation...guess they can't be trusted.. :D

[argos]

has anyone purchased anything from this site: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ ???

can it be trusted??

[justin]

I would recommend www.eshine.ca

They are local (Port Colborne) and shipping is fast. They are pricey though.

[thesober]

I bought my Klasse twins from www.lastingshine.ca, i believe he is a distributer for eshine. He is located in toronto so no shipping necessary, might be a little more expensive but you dont have to wait/pay for shipping.

[vblanche]

Hi Justin, are you still offering car detailing services? cheers

[yearoftherat]

He lives in Aurora. It was worth the trip to get my car done.

[justin]

Thanks for the props Chris. Your car looks great! :) And man it was HOT that day.

A note to all those interested in getting their cars detailed. I will be on vacation starting Saturday Aug 25, however, I will be leaving for the airport at 3:00pm that day. If anyone wants to book a last minute detail, PM me. All weekends are open right now (with the exception of next Saturday), so again, PM me if you need something done.

[theurgy]

I second Justin's eshine reco... great shop and probably the best products out there.

[justin]

When do you get back?

Aug 30, but I will be taking one last appointment no later than a 10:00am start on the 25th if you are interested in getting something done.
