Just want to know some good places to get your car detailed or even mobile ones that come to you, preferably western suburbs.. I've only ever been to one and it was shocking, my dog could have licked it cleaner than they left it. Any feedback is appreciated :)

+ I am sure any of those car wash places can do a decent job.

So either go all out to Final Inspection or I'd do it myself for fun.

ive been wanting to get car detailed by final inspection but i might wait till atleast spring - would hate to get it done and drive it straight out into rain :(

That's the point of detailing, it stays clean even through the rain. Makes it very easy to keep the car clean through the wetter seasons :)

how often do people detail there cars?

Define detail, Cut and polish thats all it is yeah?

i'd go at least yearly for a detail, but with maintenance in between.

Detail to me would be a machine polish.

But i would clay the car at least a few times in the year, with a few layers of sealant or wax throughout the year, which makes the maintenance/detailing easier

dude, out west... no choice, Final Inspection

/end thread

:D

I have always heard a bad story about something or other about the "Pro in their field" whether its a tuner, panel beater, paint job, or pretty much anything if you've been around long enough you've always heard at least one bad experience....everything/everyone EXCEPT for Damien @ Final Inspection, I swear the amount to people praise him you'd think he's a god

Pretty hard to stuff up detailing and not be able to correct the mistake though. Not saying there aren't shitty detailers, but at least you don't have things like worn engines blowing up on you / messing with ya work.

striking through paint to bare metal i would think is something pretty hard to rectify birds :D

not to mention plastics, glass, exterior moulds, interior trims - there's some things you can do that there is no coming back from. And a lot of it are prices you don't want to ask from a stealership to replace :D

Hahaha that's true, but how often does it happen to a professional in the field? Tuners on the other hand, well I've heard stories of engines failing and always being blamed on the tuner. I guess what I'm saying is, a pro detailer can usually see what they are working with and know what to expect as an outcome...mechanical fields tend to be more prone to f*** ups on behalf of a worn or poorly built car/engine.

that is true, it's pretty much all out there for everyone to see. And a good detailer would be doing a PTT before doing any serious correction, so you do know what you're getting for the most part

mechanical is definitely a bit of a pandora's box sometimes

    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
