Hi everybody, I am still new to this forum, I view it occasionally but haven't been active posting here.

Well anyways, I have an e60 528i, lately I find myself busy and not having the time to take good care of my car washing waxing etc. like I use to when I first purchased it. (been washing every 2 months or so for the past year and half) =/ Also my car is parked outside daily. I have notice the shine on my paint has been fading as of late. I am wondering if anybody knows a good place that can restore the shine to my car. (wash, clay, wax, compound, polish, glaze, seal.) I know all this can be done if taken the time at home but I do not have the time nor supplies to do this at my home and it would cost quite a bit to purchased everything. Preferably looking for a professional near my home (714 area).

If anyone knows a good place or even someone doing it out of their home and can refer from experience would be great. Also, any information on how much might be charged for the service would be awesome too.

Thanks,
James

 

in Tustin
$110 for exterior detail . They wash, claybar, polish twice, apply sealant.
Best to make an appointment, could get busy on Saturdays

 

If you want the best work possible the answer is: PM member F-minus as soon as possible. He isn't cheap, but is FANATICAL about a car's finish. No one does better work than him.

 

^ this. but he is very very pricey and you will have to leave your car with him for an extended period of time. go to adamspolishes.com or detailersdomain.com and check out their forums for socal detailers.

or you can just watch adams polishes videos and learn how to detail yourself with the right equipment and materials. very rewarding.

 

I can help you out. and you can learn too! Fminus is awesome did our Lexus. I heard Pjinca can wash wax and tune up in under 10 min : P

 

You're in Orange County -- so this could be a drive --

But Eco Friendly Car wash (or whatever stupid name it goes by) on PCH just before Malibu Canyon Road (right next to the KFC) does great work in Malibu. They have hammocks and nice chairs. Relaxing by the beach while someone cleans your car is always nice.

I haven't done a complete detail with those guys -- but for $25-$30 wash + hand waxes its a pretty good deal.
