    The Auto Detailer Thread

    Yes, I know... this thread has been done before. However, with Spring 2006 here (or is it still coming?)... I thought I would post up again to see if there are any "New" and "Improved" places in town that rule the Detailing game.

    Personally, I'm looking for a Detail shop to do the full-meal deal (ie. Interior/Exterior). Lately, I have noticed that little of the "Black Magic" remains in my BMP 20th AE. Therefore, recommendations on places that can deal with the "darker" variety of paint jobs (ie. no swirl marks) would be much appreciated. As well, quality is more important to me than price... albeit... to an extent.

    So please... post up... Where have you gone? Who's the best? And most importantly, would you recommend all other Eurodrivers to go there?

    Cheers... Deuce.

    Re: The Auto Detailer Thread

    My family and I have always gone to AutoProtectors...

    Never had any problems and have always been extremely helpful with seperate questions. (Took the time to do a claybar demo for me one day..)
    They are just off McCleod and 42ndish..

    They also have partnerships with surrounding companies for tint, clear bra and a few other accesories..

      Why wouldn't you just do it yourself? No one else is going to care for your car like you will. Just my $.02

        Actually... that's the problem. I just know... 1/2 way through it... I'll get fed up with the whole process, end up rushing it... and doing a much worse job than a detail shop would.

        Either that... or I'm just lazy.

          Hmmm... o.k., so 68 Views so far... and AutoProtectors is the only recommendation? There has got to be a few others out there with thoughts on this. Please help!

          Thanks in advance... Deuce.

                    Went there. Good guys. Great job. $210+ taxes for the full she-bam (Interior/Exterior). I believe its called the "Complete-Clean". Anyhow... thanks for the recommend... the 39th Avenue C-Train station right there like 1/2 a block away makes it slick for anybody who works downtown.

                    Cheers...

                          Website is down (he usually has a really nice website up) and he is a great guy. I personally have not used his services as I DIY but lots of people on Beyond have and he does nothing but great work. Send him an email using the info on that webpage or PM him on beyond (username: VTEXTC).
