For those lucky Rennlisters in the DFW area, you should give these guys a try. They aren't Rennlist sponsors (yet) so I am not sure how much I can say here. I am just a happy customer, no interest - professional or personal in this company. They come out and three guys absolutely attack the car... washing, clay barring, repeating, etc... then polishes, etc. They use only Zaino products and the results are fantastic. Today was a bit overcast, so I will take some after pics when it is more sunny. My car goes straight under a car cover after I get this type of treatment done. I do it about 1- 2 times per year and in-between do all the maintenance myself with Zaino products.

Their detail truck was super cool.

You have to take off your hat to these guys aye. They are out there doing it!
Good on them and what a great idea.

how much do they charge?

I wish we had this in my area in Wash DC. I just don't have the time to do it as intensely as detail people do it, particulary the inner part of the wheels. I get tar from the road in there and don't have the energy to take the wheels off to clean it off completely.

You're lucky, and yes, how much!?

the prices really vary, as he can do all kinds of things.... ranging from undercarriage/engine detailing to wet sanding to polishing, interior, steam cleaning, etc... my car is one of the cheapest he works on - a lot of Ferraris, Lambos, etc... I know someone with a Murcielago that pays him $1k twice a year for all the stuff he does to that car...

I pay about $300 a visit a couple times per year, including the tips to his guys... I get pretty basic stuff done, because I like to add to it/improve on it myself.

Here is the website, much more on pricing in here:

By the way, none of this is to take away from our own Rennlister, Anthony Orosco, who, based on the pictures of his work, probably performs at this level or higher on his detailing... it's just that he is in San Antonio and I am in Dallas...

johathan 300 bucks to get your car detailed ....... you have money to burn dude. go to the "city car wash " near the american airlines center and have julio spend 4 hours with your car and he'll charge you 100 dollars. he's thrilled when you give him a 20 buck tip and everytime you drive you car by there, he'll whistle at you. aaaaand i bet you'll be 100% satisfied with the job he does.

Sorry Ksjcorpus disagreed $300 for detailing car is very reasonable but $100 for a car wash now that is silly and I would whistle too .

all do respect, i think that you and i are different types of car "enthusiasts".... i am very particular about the finish and interior on my car... cant imagine some guys with dirty used towels in downtown dallas would do the trick..

1- being 1/2 Mexican, I dont appreciate the undertones of your comment about "Julio"
2- i am going to guess that you don't have a clue about what is involved in Zaino detailing, the complexity of it, need to mix things properly, get it right, etc... you are probably getting turtle wax on your porsche
3- i dont have money to burn... that's why i only let professionals detail my car (once or twice a year mind you) and i do it myself in between...helps maintain the look/value over the years

I wonder what they would charge to drive 5 1/2 hours south? Do they use a portable shade for summer days?

$300 sounds cheap to the 12 hours I put in detailing my car. At my billable hours, $300 is real cheap. But I don't do it to save money, its therapy, as I'm sure it is for a lot of people that detail their own cars.

JPF

Yea, for that kind of work, $300 is a bargain, especially if they come to your house.

Good stuff, congrats.

ksjcorpus

i've definitely been out voted and johnathan i didn't mean it the way you took it. julio is a real guy that does a super bang up job. anyway your 993 is looking sweet.

Steve 96C4S

Whoa... I'm glad this thread turned out happy instead of the way I thought it was going.

Yes, good on you, Jonathan. At first $300 sounded like alot to me too, but when you consider how much energy is expended in doing this type of thorough job, it's actually reasonable as heck, PLUS you're saved the immense inconvenience of having to drop it off somewhere and either rent a car or wait (for 4-8 hours?!).

Ok, I've changed my mind, $300 is cheap!

Anyone know of a mobile detailer like these guys in the Seattle area?

Given the amount of time I have right now, $300 seems like a bargain. I would rather do it myself, but I would spring for that kind of money a couple of times a year to save time on weekly details...
