Looking for detailer in Cerritos or Irvine

I have a jet black 06 330i and hoping to find a good place for detail. I've contacted Superior Shine a couple of weeks ago but haven't got a response back, so hoping someone on here can give me a suggestion as to another place to call. I've had the car for about a year and has put on a lot of milage. Most of the car's paint is in pretty good condition (I think), but the hood and the front bumper is a mess. There are also some waterspots that I'm not too thrilled about. I've been waxing the car with Zaino for the past year but nothing too detailed. I'm hoping to get the car detailed, including the interior, the engine bay, and the rims. Please help. I work in Cerritos and lives in Irvine.

Timzero,
I think the problem you might be having is that with all of the water restrictions in the OC it makes it hard to find someone willing to deal with those issues. That being said, when you say the hood is a mess...what are the issues? Scatches, swirls, peeling?

I am only a part timer (work 40-60hrs a week on reg job) and I would be coming from the high desert and so if you are in no big hurry , I might be able to help you out. Plus give you some pointers on maintanence in between major "details" let me know. Feel free to shoot me a PM. I will include some of my work examples for you to judge. Thanks... Steve

Thanks for the reply, PM sent. I didn't know there's a water restriction in OC

Cool

Since you’re in Irvine I can’t help but suggest signing up for one of Meguiar’s detailing classes and/or Wednesday wax nights.

You may find you can deal with it on your own. If you decide not to you’ll at least get an feel for what whoever you get to do the job will need to do.

This is exactly what I was thinking! Was just getting ready to write it up. You won't waste your time attending one of these classes. You could also find detailers wanting to work on your vehicle also.

i live in irvine, but usually detail in the los angeles area and was actually thinking about starting to detail in the O.C. I know if i wanted to i can detail in front of my apartment but not at such a high volume as i do in los angeles. If you'd like to me to do your car i'd be more than happy too, let me know. you can call me at 323 712 0565.

I service your area and can come to your home or work. Heres some pics of some recent work

Quick detail I did on my truck 2 days ago
1994 Isuzu Trooper that has 210,000 miles and sits out side all the time and hadn't been washed in a few months

Beauty rings machine polished out. These were heavily oxidized and my camera doesn't do them any justice

Another car I detail

Just did these today
Heres a full detail I did today on a Honda CRV. This car was a mess and took 45 mins just to vacuum all the stuff out like pizza crust and pieces of rotting fruit. The carpets were black but after shampooing they came out nice.
