Hi,
This looks like an interesting place, both products and posts. I have a compact silver Acura for which I've no longer been able to do the right things on my own. For a while now only been taking it through a quick hand-wash joint . Better than spinning brushes, but the neglect shows.
Maybe someone here can recommend a good detailing outfit in Central NJ - centered, say, around Edison, So. Plainfield, Piscataway, New/East Brunswick, etc., or as an alternate in Staten Island/Brooklyn NY.
Never used a pro, but I guess what I'm thinking about is standard: besides getting into all the exterior crevices and wheel wells, it could probably use a claying, maybe a light polish to get rid of very minor swirls and fingernail marks - I don't really expect scratch or paint-chip repairs - treat the plastic and rubber, and finally a good paint sealant. Inside besides the glass, a dusting, a cleaning to get rid of scuffs and hand marks on the doors, vinyl/leather, a vacuuming of the carpets, and maybe a shampoo of the mats.
When I was better able, maybe I was a cleaner but never a real detailer - just used to do a bi-weekly basic washing, dressing of the tires, and damp wipe inside surfaces. In addition, at irregular intervals of months, outside: clay, Klasse All-In-One (might top that with a plain carnuba wax); inside: Lexol on the leather and 303 on the vinyl.
Any comments would be welcome. I look forward to stopping by Detail City regularly.
