I always take my car to ADS-Mobile in San Bruno. In fact, they just made my keyed up, rock-chipped, paint-swirl filled Maxima look like new with a stage three wet-sand detail.

Call Phil @ 650-872-1263 and tell him that Boris sent you. Here is one of their advertisements: http://www.craigslist.org/pen/aos/72278615.html

After having my black sedan detailed by Phil at ADS I have to agree with Boris. ADS Mobile is a top notch detailing shop. They made my '03 G look brand new. It was pretty bad off with swirl marks and fading. Phil went the extra mile as well. He polished the haze off my headlights, cleaned the engine bay (no extra charge), polished the side mirrors (not the painted part but the actual mirror), etc. I will be taking my G to ADS from here on out.

Here is a link to his site:

This is what I had done:
Front bumper, hood, two front fenders: wet sanded, polished, waxed
Rest of the car: polished, waxed
Wheels: polished, waxed
Carpet, mats: vacummed, shampooed
TOTAL $325 + tip

Since I paid cash he threw in an extra service for free. I chose carpet cleaning over leather conditioning.

EDIT: If anybody decides to use ADS on a referral from me, please tell Phil Eloy sent you. Thanks.

The joy of sharing a good thing with fellow G brothers and sisters is more rewarding than the monetary incentive.
