Looking for a recommendation for a Chicago area high-end detail shop for a friend to get his 2004 996 turbo detailed.

thanks in advance

A friend of mine recently had a paint correction and full detail done on a Ferrari 458 at Chicago Auto Pros and raved about the outcome. He sent me pics and it looked amazing but I have zero personal experience with them.

Lustr in Palatine. Ivan will treat you, and your Porsche, right. I'm going in Tuesday for a wash and a quick seal to rejuvenate the CQuartz.

Ivan and Roman have been maintaining my cars for over 9 years.

I haven't been to either of these shops (yet) but the two I most often hear recommended for high-end cars are Chicago Auto Pros (as suggested above) and Simon's Shine Shop in Lincoln Park.

I didn’t use Lustr, but I suspect they are excellent based on what I’ve heard and seen. I’ve seen a few videos of their work. I also went out and met Ivan. These guys know what they are talking about.

When I️ bought mine I️ couldn’t find the right place to do it (in Chicago) so I️ ended up doing it myself. I️ haven’t seen many cars with paint as lustrous as mine and I️ learned a skill in the process. It’s fun and relaxing.
