Can anyone recommand some good shops where i can take my car to do detail in Los Angeles area?? Anybody??

Try www.walkerdetail.com. They do a good job but beware, if you get your car detailed make sure you tell them not to use acidic products to clean your rims. Also, be careful as to what you let them use on your interior, some products strip the interior door panels leaving a dull, worn out look that is very sticky.

MBZman,

Thanks for the reply, i went to their website and found that they were using Lexol for interior, which is good right?? what do you recommand not using for the interior?? how do i know what kind of product is acidic for rims???

I believe Lexol is good stuff, nothing to worry about there. If you ever have any wearing out of interior parts, the first question the service department asks you is do you have the car detailed. If you say yes they will blame the products they used and not cover the problem under warranty. On my dad's E320 his interior driver side door panel wore out and became sticky, the dealer said it was due to a cleaning solution used by a detailer. The thing is he had never had the car detailed or used ANY product on the interior, just wiped it down with a damp cloth.

As for the wheels, acid based products will strip the wheels and cause rust. The dealer will not cover this damage. Ask Walker, or anyone you have detail your car, what they use on the wheels and if it contains acid. I believe p21s makes a wheel cleaner that is ph balanced and will not harm your wheels.
