Where can you get your car waxed?

[Hazy]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to know if anyone know a good place to get their car waxed/claybar/etc. for a good price. Reason I\'m asking is because I\'m always too busy which gives me no time to wax my car. In fact, my car has never been waxed before. I\'ve had my car for two months now and I think its time to get some waxing done (btw its white). If anyone knows, please let me know, It\'ll be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

there are probably a number of people on this board who will do it for you. I do a number of cars for friends and family (for a small fee of course, or food, or equivalent) :D

It doesn\'t take long to wax a car the size of our 3. If you wanted to help speed up the process CanTire has a sale on 8 and 10in random orbit polishers. That can help save some time. And claybaring is very easy. At first I didn\'t wanna do it either but it takes about 20 mins to do the whole car.
However, Ziebart and Henderson Car Cleaning (apperently one of the best in toronto) are just two of many that will do so. Check the yellow pages too. It will definetly cost more than doing it yourself but it can be done. Just remember, you will lose the car for a few hours while they do the work, that might be more of an inconvience than doing it yourself.

I am probably going to get my car done at Mr. Steam http://www.mrsteamcarwash.com . It won\'t be cheap but they will do full interior, and exterior detailing, plus clay barring. They even offer a pickup and delivery service.

Actually, their prices are pretty cheap. Up here in Newmarket I have checked 2 places and they want $200/$225 Just for Claying and High speed polish alone!!! Then another $125-$150 for complete interior....... :(

[SABIO]

Hmmm.. i found a place here in Newmarket that is going to do my car inside and out incld. engine shampoo, clay and wax for $200. Not to bad.

$120 for complete interior/exterior inclds. shampooing stains and carpet, wash and tire shine.

$50 for wax

$30 for engine clean

where is this place located?

[TheProfessor]

I\'ve used a place called Greg\'s Autoshine in Scarborough in the past. They are a small shop, but do very good work. Prices are pretty good too, but it is an all cash type of affair. They are located on Nantucket (beside Dynopower Services) in the Kennedy and Lawrence area. He also gets the overflow from local car dealerships.

[Saphress]

Hey guys,... I know a detailing shop in Pickering/Ajax... really nice owner... does an amazing job.... used to be a client of mine at the bank.... decent prices too...

[Hazy]

bump ^^

Any recommended detailling shops at a reasonable price? :D

[Hanif]

yes, I might be interested in this too...maybe a once-a-year thing if I don\'t feel like doing it myself.

[swales]

What exactly are you looking to get done? You just want a wash and wax or do you want \"the works\" which includes swirl/scratch removal?

[Hazy]

Everything including the works.

No offence as I haven\'t seen \"your\" work, but I haven\'t seen a dealership (that goes for high-end dealerships too) do a good detail in the last 15 years that I\'ve been in the industry.

Yes they\'ll make your car \"look\" clean, but more often then not, they actually give your car swirl marks, paint marring and hairline scratches.

town and country bmw eh.

at maranello ours came out perfectly like when we bought it. its bmw, not mazda (never had my car washed EVERRRRRRRRRRR at prima that i can recall) so not matter what it would be better then expected at mazda.

hmm why is the works cheaper then wash and wax lol? and they dont mind other cars being brought in? rofl imagine a fleet of mazda3\'s pulling ito the town and country dealership. hmm i really would like to get the works done, cuase yeah... the interior of my car isnt exactly the cleanest thing you will ever see. lol

[astatik]

sorry for the confusion guys,
Technically we arn\'t allowed to detail random people\'s cars during regular business hours. That is why you have to set up a appointment with me.
As to clarify again with the pricing:
-$30 wash exterior/ clean interior
-$60 wash exterior/ clean interior / wax
Furthermore I understand your concern, some dealerships have detailers that do half ass jobs on cars. but i can say for sure that we do not have detailers such as those. we do not leave swirl marks, paint marring or hairline scratches. Our work is done professionally, with effort and care.

astatik: to sum up previous posts:

So when are the appointments available?? :)

What products do you use (i.e. brand of wax, car soap, leather cleaner or fabric cleaner, etc...)??

Roughly how long does each process take (i.e. the $30 vs. the $60 treatment)???

Any other answers to questions I can\'t think of right now :p
