Detailers in SoCal

Hi, does anyone know a really good detailer in the SOCAL area. Preferably in Orange County. I have been reading these posts and I am a girl and really have no experience applying wax to my car myself. It is black so I am very **** about swirls and cloudy marks. I just want someone to come out to my house that can apply the Zaino or whatever is it that makes black cars shine. And how much would that cost?

No replies huh? I guess, I am THE only one in SoCal that doesn't wash her own car?

Hey Ggirl, I work in the OC and know that there are quite a few Professional Mobile Detailers who are willing to detail your car wherever you're at. Check out your local yellow pages for those listed in your area and get more information on the products they use.

Whenever I'm in San Diego, my Cousin-In-Law who's a Mobile Detailer Owner (Prime Time Detailing Service) does my vehicle and he is stocked up to Vehicle Owner Expectations. He uses only carwash, wax, polish, etc. his customers want him to use. Other than that, I detail my own vehicle.

Good Luck!

Ggirl,

I have a perfect person for you who also lives in Irvine. The person also owns a black car and is very meticulous when he details cars. He is located around Quail hills in Irvine.

PM me if you want more info. Pricing will depend on the condition of the current paint. But figure 3-4 hours for the job if it is really swirled. He uses meguairs products and sonus products. First he will wash the car, clay the car, use a dual action cleaner polisher and then a polisher (if necessary), then a coat of tech wax.

He only does exterior, but he is good.

I hope you can come out this weekend to the SD meet.

Hey Ggirl, when you find a really good detailer lemme know. I'm in Irvine too, and my black car has mad swirls on it too

I almost hate washing the car, cause then I see the swirls and such that the dirt made hidden.

If you don't mind me asking how much does he usually charge?

Mostly it depends on the amount of work that needs to be done. I can send you his contact info if you want.
