Bump...
I am looking for some reccomendations on a great detailer (mobile or shop) in Orange County.

Any help out there? I know there is a larger Orange County membership on here.

What you guys got for me?

I've been very happy with MB of Laguna Niguel with detailing, excellent job. Also, checkout the MeguiarsOnline forum, they have some good detailers that post on there. Check out the following forum members SUPERIORSHINE http://www.superiorshine.com and DETLMAN http://www.autoexprs.com/ , they are probably the top local detailers in So Cal.

Of course you could have come to the MBWorld Meguiars Day and learned how to do it yourself....

There is a guy who posts on the Meguiar's Online forum by the nick of HotRodGuy that is a great detailer. He is in Huntingon Beach.

You might contact him. Look in: http://meguiarsonline.com/forums and search for postings by HotRodGuy.

Good Luck

OC Detailers

I have had excellent results with Steve's on Dove (next to Beacon Bay) in Newport Beach and Steve's in the Atrium in Irvine. Steve's in the Atrium has been doing my cars for years.

I have a friend that details cars in OC. He's a college student that does it on his spare time, but his results are great. This thread has info and pictures

I've sent your friend a PM to get a quote as I am just down the street from him. Always looking for a better detailer and a better Chinese take-out.

Stricks-

Thanks for the info I just dropped my car off at Steves on Dove St. this afternoon. They were open the afternoon before Turkey Day('till 7:00 no less) and took me right away. Had to get the new ride all shined up for the family to "oooh and ahhhh" at before dinner tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks to everyone else who posted their suggestions I will probably try a few of them out in the next few months.
