I live in an apartment building, and there's no way for me to wash or wax my car myself. I'm wondering what I should look for in a detail shop. What questions should I ask?

 

Although I've not used a professional detailer yet, my first questions would be:

1. What do you do for the $
2. What products do you use
3. Let me see some of your work

Good Luck!

Xman's right. Experience is also a must........ask them how many years they've been doing this.

Thanks for the advice. Which products should I look for? Are there any detailers that use Zaino?

 

Not sure, as long as they use good quality products I would think it's OK. See what other people on this forum use. As for myself, I use:

Zaino or Mothers car wash, Z2, Z5, Z6
Z10 - leather in a bottle (conditioner)
Zaino clay bar
Tarminator - tar remover
Mothers metal polish
303 Aerospace Protectant for plastic surfaces
Tuff Stuff Foam cleaner for carpet
Turtle Wax Wet 'n Black for the tires
