Hi,

Can anyone recommend a pro detailer in the Portland, OR area?

I am looking for the best detailer possible for my exotic car.

Thanks!!

So are you looking to spend over 1k? What type of car?

I've heard good things about a place called AutoBella.

Applied Colors will do a fantastic job. Member Tdekany will be moving out there soon if you want to wait for that, but not exactly sure when he is coming out this year. Maybe contact him for your regular details.

Either Robert of Applied Colors (Ace restoration) or myself would be glad to help you out. I highly recommend him. I'm mobile, and would gladly maintain your vehicle if Robert does your restoration work. I specialize in multi-stage paintwork correction. Feel free to PM me.

Does anyone have friendly impartial opinions on Ace vs AutoBella? I am in the market for a full detail and want to make the right choice!

Thanks

*Gasp* How could you forget about me!

Between only those two, I recommend Ace. I send customers there on occasion, because I know the owner and trust him very much. I continuously have people come to me after they first tried Auto Bella. Although this is fine with me, it's still an improper reflection on the skills of the few Northwest detailers like us that actually know what we're doing.

If you're looking for surface restoration and repairs on scratched exterior or interior panels, Ace does an absolutely magnificent job repainting and such.

If you're looking for a more intensive, multi-stage paintwork correction for unique paints (ceramic, or Porsche single stage) and European autos, specialized LSPs, leather treatments, etc.. I'm your man. I'm typically working on longer, multi-day jobs.

Just to give you an idea of the local scene, without trying to advertise. If a mod has an issue, please let me know and I'll change it.

Anyway, keep in touch.

I had an exterior detailing job done by Ace Car Reconditioning on my 07 black Volvo S80 Friday 24th. I needed general clear coat swirls and minor scratches removed. From a distance the car looks great. Unfortunately, getting up close will still reveal swirls and scratches. I will say that Eric was great to work with and was completely willing to take all of the swirls out. But he said he needed to wet sand it to get them out. I was reluctant to have him take that extreme of a measure, and thus didn't have it done. These are washing swirls, which seemed like they could have been removed in the polishing process. I guess I was wrong.
