Default CA LA Detailer suggestions?

Picking up my new GT4 on the 23rd in LA and would like to get a paint coating applied before the drive home. Any suggestions or places to stay away from?

Cheers!

The Car Connoisseur (Daniel) recent corrected the paint on my Carmine Red and then applied a Gyeon coating after PPF installation. He did a great job.

Looks like he just started worki on another GT4 too.

Thanks for the replies!

Never spent any time in LA. The dealership is just north of LAX.
But I would be willing to drive to a great detailer.

I am looking to get one of the new ceramic/opti coatings done.

Based on this, go see Daniel. I beleive he is just North of there but is also mobile if you have a garage.

Get your appointment now though, he is a busy man.

Lots of good choices if you're willing to drive a bit.

Moe at Glistening Perfection is awesome. He's in Aliso Viejo. He's been detailing, doing PPF and coating work on P cars for a very, very long time. Do a search on him and you'll find a lot of results. Here's his work on my GT4 as well as a GT3

Tim at Adonis Detailing has done several GT4s now and also does really great work. He's in Carlsbad.

The biggest thing, IMO, is finding the right installer. PPF (or clear bra) and nano coating has come a long way in the last few years. Most of the high end products are all very good. But the installer makes all the difference in the world.

Da Hapa already linked you to my thread, so I'll cast another vote for Adonis Detail and Tim (aka "The GT4 Whisperer" as I think he's done about a dozen GT4s at this point).

Most people said to buy the installer, and I'd agree with that notion.
