Exclamation Looking for a detailer in the South Florida Area...

Just as the subject states.. I'm looking for a reputable detailer in the South Florida area... roughly around the West Palm Beach/Boca Raton area. I'm willing to drive around for good service though. Can anyone recommend someone? So far the only place I've found is:

SUNSHINE BOB AUTO DETAILING INCORPORATED
699 NW 1ST AVE, BOCA RATON, FL 33432
(561) 750-1949

I gave the gentleman a call and he sounded VERY reputable... been in business for 19 years or so. He uses Meguiars* products.

Anyone know of anyone that may use Zaino products in my area?

Any advice anyone can give would be much appreicated!@$# Thanks Guys!

I would try PMing Auto Care USA, he's in the area right now and I think he might know someone or be able to do it himself depending on circumstances...

Dang man.. I wish I lived closer to Orlando now =\

However, I was reading your "More Information" section and it appears that the guy I looked up in my area uses pretty much the same products as you.. and he claims to of been in the business for 19+ years. Hopefully he does a good job.. if not I'll be in the Orlando area on the 19th!

Anyone else know of someone that they may have used (and are hopefully still using )?

You can have all the "so-called" best products and it can come out looking like crap if you don't know what you are doing.

Ask the guy how long it will take him to do vehicle. The process his uses to get to the last stage of waxing and that will give you an idea of the quality of his 19+ years.

Quality or Quantity any day. You may have to pay for it but it is worth it in my opinion.


P.S. I do require a place to hook-up my hose and plug in my extension cord. Just a FYI.

99.9% of my mobile business is done in the driveway of their home.


Working on renting or leasing a "brick and mortar" shop by the end of the year. That is my "New Years" resolution.

If it means anything... he said it'd take about 4 hours or so and asked if I wanted my car picked up and dropped back off to me. I declined and told him I'd just bring it in and wait around. I'm always up for seeing how one does their work

Wow.. this thread is quite old, and my car is now roughly 5 months old and it is in need of a VERY thorough detail. Damn spinklers must be messed up because I have some VERY bad water spots on the one side of my car (on the glass and paint), and they aren't coming off the glass.. not even with a very fine grit compound.

I'd like to revive this thread for new comers... so once again, does anyone know of ANY VERY REPUTABLE AUTO DETAILERS IN THE SOUTH FLORIDA AREA?! Someone must know something!
