Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend a detailer, preferably in the east bay. My wife is selling her car; it just needs a basic clean up.

Thanks.

The Bay Area is a huge place. Where in the Bay Area are you? If you're just looking for a basic wash and interior cleaning, almost any car wash and detail place can do a decent job. Wet sand, buffing, etc... to get rid of all the tiny scuffs on the paint are a completely different story.

I'm in the east bay, Hercules...haven't been impressed with car washes over the years. Looking for light upholstery cleaning, carpet shampoo, clay bar and wax, etc.

clay barring is pretty easy to do yourself

PM Zaino Detailer. He does excellent work! He's detailed several cars on here and many members can vouch for him.

Do you know of someone who can do this type of detail.....wetsand, etc? My black G came with lots of swirl marks.

Thanks

I always done my own claybaring in the past, but don't have time now.

Good luck...I've got about 20 hours in my black G and have cleaned about 80% of the
'pre owned' swirls/scratches...just about sick of detailing these days

Most detail places will clay bar, but usually only body shops will wet sand as it's a process to get rid of orange peel from freshly sprayed paint. I know of a few places that can do either, but they are almost all in the South Bay.
