Detailer in San Francisco Area
I will be flying out of the San Francisco international Airport and would like to leave my car with a skilled detailer while traveling. Any recommendations?
Thanks

Robert at Autoconcierge http://justwaxed.net/ in Fremont is one of the best but you would want to discuss with him what you are looking for (as you would with anyone).
I have tried another organization called Diamond Care Care in Palo Alto and was not satisfied in the end.
I am curious about other suggestions, there must be many other alternatives. The two I have mentioned here can do 'concours'/color correction type detailing.

all you guys recommend Rob although who the hell wants to spend $1500-3000 on a detail.
I used the detailer next to S CAR GO - results were pretty good, I feel he rushed my car at the end which I was disappointed with.
that said the buffing he did was top notch.
I would have expected him to have polish my hre wheels, he barley tried to even clean them. just sprayed tire shine on the centers to give them a new look!
personally speaking I would not spend more than $500 on an exterior detail.
I have heard good things about Detail Addict, problem is that they are not too close to SF.

(Many people will spend that much on their vehicle to correct flaws and to use premium protection products, These prices on a new vehicle, in my area, would get you an in-depth, more than likely a coating as well, such as Modesta or CQuartz Finest)

(Did he discuss the wheel option? Bob's price at Auto Concierge more than likely includes pulling the wheels off and polishing and protecting)

(You get what you pay for. $500, even in my small area would get you a solid single step polish and a quality wax or sealant. Wheels would be cleaned, but not polished and the inside would probably get a light vac. Single step polish depending on prior paint defects could gain you around 60-65% correction of swirls and scratches)

can anyone tell me what is the best diy detailing kit? i am talking about a buffer too - porter cable appear good.
i am a very patient person and enjoy cleaning my car when the results are visible.
for example my 2 day leatherique process i did on my interior left me with a grin.
