Review of local detailer in NJ

drrac2 · 08-06-07, 07:55

I recently used member xfire (Ciro's Detailing) for two of my vehicles.

Ciro did two complete details for me (my wife's Expedition and my 996 daily driver).
He is very professional, and his prices are reasonable.

My wife's truck was a nightmare. The interior was full of dried yogurt and juice. The exterior was full of contamination. The truck is not garaged, and she is obviously not an Autopian. He did an awesome job!!!! The truck looked brand new, inside and out.

The 996 is silver, and it is detailed regularly, so my expectations were much higher. He did a very good job initially, but overall I was not 100% satisfied. We had a brief discussion, and he returned and corrected the areas. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL.

After dealing with a botched tint job, and an incorrect stereo installation, at the Finishing Touch in Morristown (DON'T USE THEM!!!!!) I have to say that it was a PLEASURE to work with someone who stands by his work.

I would definitely give him a try

Thank-you for the review and comments! Seeing reviews like this make detailing very satisfying for me, despite the hard work and sweat. It's too bad I have no after pics of the Expedition. All I have are two pics of the interior beforehand. That Expedition sure came out nice though! I simply forgot to take pics of the after's of that vehicle. I will post pics of the 996 soon.

Here's the pics of the Porsche:

drrac2,

What were the areas that you were not satisfied with?

xfire,

What specifically did you do to the cars?

drrac2 · 08-19-07, 08:44

The wheels and the brake calipers.
But he returned and made them look significantly better.

The calipers received cleaning with a q-tip, a crevice tool, and some towels. The wheels themselves received PS via UDM machine and a yellow light-cut pad at a speed of 3. Then they were finished with aio and cs. While detailing the vehicle initially, drrac2 mention that the wheels "should" be polished with a machine. With that said, I thought this ment that "next time" I'll tackle the wheels. But, he meant to machine the wheels at that time. It was a simple miscommunication issue. I came back and fixed the issue with the above technique.
