Detailers in Vancouver?

I'm looking for a fellow autopian in Vancouver, Canada. I've lost my confidence in BodyShops. They charge a lot yet with only mediocre results.

My PC, pads and various detailing supplies were stolen last year, and since I'm currently living in an apartment, I find it hard to detail my car. I would be glad to pay for a quality detail, or meet up with an autopian and pay to use his/her equipment. THERE MUST BE SOMEONE IN VANCOUVER RITE????

I too was looking for a SERIOUS independent detailer in the city, but to no avail. There are a number of good shops though. Soft-Touch in North Vancouver is reputed to be the best in the city. AutoSpa, formerly Pearls of Pristine, is also quite good. They are located off 4th and Burrard (behind the boardroom snowboard shop). There is another shop, Pearls, owned by one of the original owners of Pearls of Pristine, which is supposed to be good too.

If you find anyone good, post them here.

i wasn't impressed by Pearls at all. I had them repair a ding on the fuel cap area, and some curb rashes. They dropped the fuel door and scratched it, fixed the curb rashes but added some serious scratches to the interior of the wheels. I also found various buffing marks left on the paint and overall I wasn't too pleased with the experience
