Car Detailing Location in the Bethesda/Washington DC Area

Sorry to post a geographically limited request but there seems to be a bunch of forum members in the Washington DC area and I thought I'd ask for a competent car detailer in the Bethesda or Washington DC area.

I'd like to get the car detailed including clay bar, polish, wax, etc., Also there seems to be some small swirl and scratch marks on the clear coat that I'd like someone to carefully remove. I'd appreciate any recommendations and if you can give some idea about the cost that would also be useful. Thanks so much!

BTW has anyone tried car spa?

Some work he did on one of my cars...

Wow. Phenomenal job but that's a bit of a drive for me! Do they have an office area where I can plug in and work while they detail the car?

Can you give me some idea how much this thorough of a detail would cost? Car Spa has a complete detail, vax, paint correction package for around $150-$200.

Thanks again for the info.

I think he just opened a shop in Manassass. His last shop certainly had a nice waiting area with leather couches/flat screen/internet, etc...

But, if you're just looking for a wash/clay/polish/wax for $150-$200, any of the local places will do. DJ will certainly do the cheapie jobs like this too, but if you're looking for 95-100% paint CORRECTION, I challenge you to find anyone in the DC Metro area, better than him.

I bet for the $200.00, you'll get a 1-step polish and wax. If that's all you need, that's great. If you need 2, 3, 4-step correction, you're not gonna get that for $200.00

Email DJ. Every car is different, as far as pricing goes. Ask yourself this: How can Car Spa give you a price without even seeing the car?

He's a member on here too - Got_Leather. You can also see the remarkable work he does on www.autopia.org

Thanks so much! I used to use Mobile One to detail my previous cars and they come to your site and do all the work then and there but I am looking for a better option for my Mercedes so I will contact him to discuss what this might entail. His work seems flawless.

If anyone has any more suggestions, please let me know.

I'd be happy to help you out. My schedule is very limited in 2011 I will be traveling around the country for various car collections. You can shoot me an email if you'd like and we can take it from there.
