Any good detailers in Socal?
Just wondering, does anyone know of any detailers that are able to buff out some swirls and do a basic detailing job for a decent price?

Everette's detail in Downey..
11519 Bellflower Blvd
Downey, CA 90241
(562) 869-5888
old guy from Harlem, does outstanding work, been using him for 15 years.. cost is reasonable, as I recall a full detail (interior carpet shampoo, exterior hand wash, wax, etc) was about $130 might be less I have Flat Black paint so I pay a bit more for the detail because the paint is a pain to wax..

Cmon mang, do it yourself! It takes about 6-8 hours depending on how good of a job you do.
Buffer + 3 applicator bonnets + 3 stages of polish + clay bar w/ mothers detailing spray = amazing looking paint.

some people just dont know the joys of detailing their own car.
i have a buffer but personally prefer doing it all by hand. it might leave u sore for a few days and take a long ass time but damn does it look good when its all done.

Do it yourself or you can pay Tyler and I and we will detail your car for you for a decent price and it will be done in half the time.

We would probably only do exterior only, I wouldn't feel comfortable cleaning interior .. haha.
We'll have to think on how much we'd charge.

^ $25 per hour is my normal fee, but we can work something out if you're serious
No way you'll be able to achieve the same results by hand compared to a UMD/PC/Rotary/etc..

San Marino Auto Grooming in San Marino, CA
Haven't tried them yet (was going to take the CFO's car there recently, but they were under construction). I've heard great things about them.
Otherwise all the car washing / detailing on the TLS is done by THIS GUY.
(I guess you can't see my pointing at myself....)

PICTURE CREDS TO EDWARD (ZEPPLER)
I used a dewalt rotary and 5 step paint correction and sealing;
1) Super Fine Claying
2) Menzerna SIP w/ orange light cutting pad
3) Menzerna Nano Finish with white polishing pad
4) Klasse All-in-One Sealant (2 coats) with 24hr cure time for each coat
5) DooDoo Juice Purple Carnuba Soft wax
Claying, sealing and waxing are the easy parts. Cutting and polishing with the rotary are the PITA. But it's true; doing it yourself is the best pleasure. Even after dropping 300 bucks on detailing products, it pays for itself after the fist use. Then you still have enough to do your car (or anyone elses), like 10 more times!
How much does paint a paint correction like this go for anyways?

Oh, funny thing. When I got laid off, I applied for unemployment, but I didn't take it because it was going to be $100/month for my UE benefits. What a joke right? Now that I'm working for myself full time out of my house in Arcadia, I'm doing a lot better then I was working elsewhere.
