Use Autobahn Spa and Salon. These guys know what they are about. No affiliation but I have seen their work.

I'm going to have to call up Wes and schedule an appointment with him soon... I went by his shop last year for quick detail by his partner and saw his work.

PS: I used Autobahn few years ago, I wasn't really impressed... they did the whole car (clean, wax, complete interior and wheels) in 4 hours.

Michelangelo's Auto Salon http://www.autoclean.ca/ at Bloor Street and Lansdowne area, not a lot of pix on their website however they recently did a full front-end repaint on my car that was impecaable, they are also very good at detailing many top end cars, I've personally seen many Porsche, Mercedes, Jaguar, and Bently undergoing interior and exterior detailing work just the few times I've been there.

They are also very capable at polishing old oxidized paint as well as doing interior detailing.

See https://rennlist.com/forums/rennlist-canada/678734-make-over-has-begun.html for the painting process, progress, and result for both painting the front end but also polishing out the rest of the car where the surface was very swirled from years of neglect.

They did a full interior detail on my car after finishing the paintwork, I could not believe how clean the car came out, i really should take some pix as well, the carpet and floor mats look as new, and I know how soiled the driver side mat was from the original owner not paying attention to it, I doubt it had ever been cleaned in the 10 years and 85K he owned the car, but they look new now!

Highly, highly recommended!

Isn't it nice that there is a shop for everyone. Personally, I will always do this myself as it just provides so much satisfaction not to mention that "bonding" thing with your dream car.

Ditto on Autobahn, they do an excellent job and pay attention to detail. Just had a car done by them today!

I recently used GTA In Detail, they did a great job. My car is relatively new, but had swirl marks. They weren't just glazed to make it seem like they are gone, they are actually gone with proper correction.

I've used to use Kev from GTA in Detail in the past, but of late his work has gotten very sloppy. Cuts too many corners, doesn't tape off when buffing etc etc. Last two details I was shocked at the poor results.

Therefore I invested in products from E-Shine (Chris is an amazing guy with tonnes of knowledge to help you start) and then practiced on older cars in the family and now detail all my own cars.

There are a few other members here who will agree with the above, as we spoke about this at one of the meets.


FYI -
Kev is a nice guy - but just not happy with this work.

I do my own cars. Just did a 997.2 for a friend. He said it never looked as good. removed all his swirl marks etc. Took me 3.5 hours.

Hi guys. I Haven't posted here in awhile, was just made aware of this thread. I take my work very seriously so any negative feedback concerns me greatly. Quality of work and customer service are incredibly important to me; I'm always receptive to suggestions/issues before, during, and after a detail.

Rob959, I am not familiar with your username, could you refresh my memory and let me know which cars I detailed for you?

I was not at all happy with Kevin of GTA in Detail either and can not recommend him. Use the other guys or like me, do it yourself.
