Opinion on Mobile Car Detailers, Inc in Raleigh area?

Anyone with experience or feedback from these guys? Here is there website, they don't mention what products they use either, but they carry there own water supply in the van. And Jake said they get all there supplies from Majestic, if I remember correctly???

linky

Thanks!

Majestic Solutions products I found were subpar, effective, but not advanced at all. You can get better professional products in bigger bulk amounts that are more well designed (TOL/HiTemp).

To be honest, if your Full Detail package or Highest Detail Service doesn't include a basic Paint correction or renewal, it isn't a Detail Service.

Why don't you try some of the Autopians on this forum? I know Mobile Triad Werks just started, Zippy is around also.

AutoAppearances Inc is an authorized Automotive International Detailer if you want something even more.

I agree, no polishing, I'd pass.

Honestly, I just need a good wash and dry after a 500 mile high speed bug killing drive . I currently have 3 layers of FMJ and it is super slick I already contacted Zippy, just wanted to see what was out there. Mobile Triad Werks doesn't cover North Raleigh if I remember correctly. I have the #s of Auto App and others too. Thanks again

Do u have any pictures of before and after with cars in full sun (post polishing)... Not that u need to prove yourself, but if u're good, we could always recommend ya'. A lot of detailers here get business from recommendations here on Autopia.

Welcome, I don't mean any harm or looking down in any way. I guess what it all comes down to is the right technique, operation, and completion of a quality detail service.

Challenging the guys on this website to a clean car contest is probably not a good idea.

Perhaps you are the best detailer ever to set foot here, but, sorry, how long you've been doing it doesn't mean you know how to do it. I just bought a completely swirled car from a dealer that's been in business for 60 years...you'd think after 60 years they would know how to wash a car, huh?

And I have to agree about terminology...a "complete detail" with neither a claying or paint cleaning is stretching it. Anyway, you need to make your case on your results, not on how long you've been doing it. I bet the guys in this thread have been doing it a while, too.

You can find my somewhat complete website on my profile, still trying to decide where I want to go with the design and layout.

Good to hear you've been in business for 7 years, I have complete respect for people who Detail Full Time as a job and live solely on that income. It's hard in the Raleigh area, especially with the Sun and all the Travelling in the triangle. I don't like challenging other Detailers, it's a hard occupation. I do however criticize "Detailing" services that do more damage than harm (Dealerships Swirls/Armor All everywhere/Etc)

No need to cause a ruckus, everyone has a customer or a certain quality they want to reach. Looking at how well designed a Website is or how well Digital Pictures look is a joke. At the end of the day I'm sure we'll want to just enjoy life, .......... and a nice clean car.

Cheers!

Woo

Obviously its working, our customers love the poducts we use. Business is going so well
now, we pick the cars we do. We turn down as much work as we do and were constanly

work as you can get to. Good luck to you guys, here's a link to some of our comp's
web sites.
