Best Detailer in Los Angeles

HI All,

I've just got my new C2S Cab, and need a extremly good detail shop to help me to remove all the swirl marks and a small scratch made by the transporter.

Any recommendations?

Thank you
Cephas

You gotta call Moe at Glistening Perfection; one of the sponsors here. Great guy and very detail oriented. Check the detailing section.

Hi Cephas,

I just picked-up my car two weeks ago and it has the same finish issues as yours. I couldn't find the best detailer in L.A., so I'm going to see the best detailer in O.C. (Moe@Glistening Perfection).

Jeff

They have a guy named Elias who is amazing. He makes detailing an art form

Moe at Glistening Perfection has detailed my very much a PITA black on camel NSX. He did an excellent job but he's not cheap.

If you're looking for the best, I doubt you need to look any further... he's your guy.

Never used Moe, but I'll give him a try. I use Superior Car Care in Venice... You should see the work they did on my GT3 after running it a at very high speeds through tar.

Yes, tar.

And gravel. Lots of gravel.

Yup, everyone on the internet is saying Moe is the best and I believe so.
Do you guys agree to do paint correction at the same time?
Which will cost totally around 1k.

Correction should be done when there is something to be corrected; in other words do you see swirls, spider webbing, or any scratches? If you do, then paint correction is in order. A common misconception is that new car are perfect. Not so by any means. Invest in the paint to be perfected and then have Moe teach you how to maintain it.

Hi Moe, When are you planning to come to PV? Let me know which date. That dealer is not helping much. But all those swirls are bugging me....

Just sent you an email. We can probably get you on the schedule early March. Can't wait for you to see you new P-Car the way it should have been. I already know what it's going to look like in my head.
