suggestion on detailing shop see pictures!

techy1 · 08-28-2012, 02:50 PM

Hi,

So this is really starting to annoy me. I took some pics of my car's hood and passenger door on parts that really stand out to me... when i bought it from the dealer originally said they were going to detail the car and they stand by saying that they did but they are willing to do it again for me but I'm thinking results will be the same...

I would like to detail the whole car but wondering if these things will come out... some scratches are a bit deep and I'm willing to get the touch up paint but never been to good at applying it. take a look and let me know your suggestions!

Kevin has been taken care of my own and my buddy's cars since 2007 when he first got into the business. Many OG members here can vouch for his great work as well.

Kevin. He does awesome work. Check his website out. His work speaks for itself and the price is worth it. There are detailers out there charging the same as him and even more and do a terrible job. Pay for it once and get it done right!
He has worked on both my cars and have seen first hand the quality work he does

Highly recommend Kevin.
Price is dependent on the work required on your vehicle - if it needs more work, it will be more expensive.
Kevin has some minimum standards for his work; for example he won't do a crap job for cheaper.

techy1 · 08-28-2012, 05:22 PM

I think I'll go with him have a appt for him to give me a better quote on sat...

got a few others as well from g6 detailing, kevin and some place mobilepro detailing.

honestly kevin just sounds really convincing and he told me he has touch up paint in case my car needs it lol

nitehawk · 08-28-2012, 05:45 PM

Agree with others. Kevin's the MAN!

+1 to Kevin. If you want to remove those marks invest in his full restore package. He will wash it, clay bar it, wash again, 3 stage polish, then 2 stage sealant. Best money you can spend to make your car look new again.

call Mike at www.mrcautodetailing.com .. Tell him Zak sent you

kavadarci · 08-30-2012, 06:30 PM

some of those will not come out, don't fool yourself, mike or kevin or whomever will let you know before you attempt anything. don't expect miracles but a lot of things can be corrected on the paint without painting. hopefully the news is good for you.

I'm meeting with him this weekend he said based on the pictures most of it will come off... he said the hood is def. repairable... he said he's a little concerned about the scratches so we'll see... once he completes it i'll post after pics. i'm only thinking for what he charges it better be good lol

Kevin seems to be the 'go-to' guy for detailing in the GTA according to these forums, but his location is way to inconvenient for me.

I've heard some good reviews on Wes at Orion Detailing. His shop is close to my office, so would be easy to drop the car there for a few hours with minimal inconvenience. Anyone have experience with him?

i used Reflections, hes based out of Brampton. Very happy with the service
