Detailer Needed in San Diego

I just bought a black '08 Cadillac CTS. Unfortunately, the dealer swirled the paint when they preped it. It's not horrible, but I'm extremely particular and want it fixed. Someone on the Cadillac Owners' forum recommended I come here to look for a detailer in my area.

Can anyone recommend a detailer in the San Diego area, and does anyone know about what this will cost me?

Re: Detailer Needed in San Diego

I just picked up my car from RAG, and it looks great. He was easy to deal with and did a great job at a fair price. I'd recommend him if anyone else is looking.

Re: Detailer Needed in San Diego

what about polishing and compounding...most come on this site knowing that a "high gloss polish" is not going to do much for correcting the car to the level which is expected from detailers on here, which is 95%+....

Re: Detailer Needed in San Diego

200 for what he is doing is not a bad price...should be done in 3 hours or less, but not with any polishing....

wash, clay, poliseal, then about 1 hour on the interior...but that is not going to make the car look loads better, just cleaned up!!!

Re: Detailer Needed in San Diego

Woa dude, I'd think you'd want to "contribute" to this board a little more than 2 times before you start soliciting business...eventuallyl, when you build a reputation, people will probably recomend you.

And what's "hand detail dashboard" anyways?
