Detailer Needed: Bay Area (close to San Jose)

Coconut · 10-07-07, 11:15

I'm looking for a good professional detailer around the Bay Area (close to San Jose). I'm very particular about my car and I want the quality of work to be the same as the ones in the "click and brag" section. My brand new Black Lexus IS250 has quite a few fine scatches and minor swirl marks that needs to be removed. It has one coat of Ultima Paint Guard Plus sealant on it right now. It would be a plus if the detailer knows how to use Ultima Paint Guard Plus (he can use my bottle).

I'm from around the SJ area but I'm backed up for about a week or two. If you don't mind waiting I can help you out. There's only 2 from detailer from San Jose that I know, me and fdizzle.

Which part of San Jose are you from? (check out my click & brag articles).

thanks john. i got done with the porsche that was set up. He's sending me the pictures this week.

can't wait.

Oh the one that i sent over to you? So what was the customers biggest concern for the car? I'd like to see that.

hey, it was water spots, but those were etched in so bad that I would have needed wool/ht-ec to get that out. I didn't want to compromise such a new clear coat to get it all out. Car came out great, those Porsche paints are a dream to work with.

I wish i had taken the opportunity. But he is quite a ways from my area.

i got you covered

. It was like a 5 mile drive for me. I picked up s100 wax from the harley dealership beforehand.

I'll be setting up shop sometime in the next couple weeks as I just moved out here from VA and my detailing stuff is still in storage. Hopefully, I'll be back to doin jobs quite soon

Welcome to the city BuffMe, I'm Sam. Where is your shop going to be?

BuffMe · 10-11-07, 07:24

By setting up shop, I mean working out of my garage, not opening up an actual shop

I actually work at the lab, but am still in temp housing until I find a place, which will hopefully be soon as I'm suffering from detailing withdrawals. BTW, my name's Jon.

So Jon (BuffMe) are you located in the city, or around San Jose? Its funny cause I'm John. But nice to meet you.
