As someone who used to be a detailing freak, I just don't have the time to dedicate to doing a clay, polish, sealant, etc anymore.
That being said, I'm looking for a shop that can do a full detail on the exterior of my vehicle that will stand up to a detailing enthusiast's eye. I assume most shops don't do claybars and just do power polishing?
Somewhere in the deep SW would be ideal, or along the McLeod trail corridor.
Thanks

Detaliz is just off McLeod trail (near Chinook) and was my go-to before I started doing everything myself. Every time they seemed to do something extra, like touch up paint chips or scratches.
2 Clean does great work and it's located behind chinook train station.

+1 I've had numerous detailings done there. The price is right too.Quote:

Jed is at Porsche now (at least he was), and I contacted him about a year ago for some work and unfortunately you also pay grossly inflated Porsche prices (not Jed's fault). Not sure if that has changed since then or if he has started doing work on the side again.Quote:

Do not bring your car to Porsche since Jed left. That place is managed very poorly now, at least if you were looking for the quality and service that Jed provided.

Bump to let everyone know Detailz has a good deal on this month. $300 for a full interior/exterior any sized vehicle. I have no affiliation asides from using them every couple of years.
Hmm, I have a disgusting minivan.... This could work.Quote:

How long do they require the vehicle for?Quote:

Wifes disgusting CUV took seven hours, truck took six. Full detail mind you, claybar, one stage polish, sealant, full interior and engine bay.Quote:

I'm just looking over the truck in detail now, and while they didn't hit a few spots, like the door hinges, they cleaned the hell out of the box. My midgate hinge area was full of dirt and gravel from landscaping, all cleared out now, and removed everything from my 1/4 panel storage boxes and cleaned those too. I'm more than happy with this deal.
PSA though, don't get a detailing in January of you don't have a warm garage to air it out for a day, from the carpet steam cleaning.
Dr Detail in the southport parkade swirled the shit out of a black car I had polished there. This was probably 8+ years ago now, so take it with a suitable sized grain of salt.Quote:
