Recommended detailer in Raleigh, NC

jimf15e · 03-19-2008, 04:43 PM

Anybody have any recommendations for a quality detail shop in the Raleigh/Triangle area? I don't want to cross post in the regional forums, so hopefully someone on this board has a good rec. I'm not quite ready to do my own work, especially on Jet Black. Thanks.

Would like to know as well. My skills are not the best and I would like to get some swirls removed.

I have used Scruffy Duck in Cary. They are a regular car wash but have a full-time detailer on site with his own work garage. I have used them for a few years and the same guy is still there. Make sure you specify the hand wash or they will run it through the car wash first. He does clay bar, polish, etc... all using Maquires. I am dropping off my new 335 vert for a good exterior detail. If the swirl marks are too bad I have used a couple body shops in Raleigh as I never found a local detailer who could handle them. I used Bill's body shop off Hillsborough to repair scratches from Hurricane Fran. Not sure if they are still in business but he does a lot of local show cars.

I personally have not used this guy, but have seen some of his cars he done. He's pretty good and comes to you.

Told you I didn't trust you sg, hahaha. Might be interesting still though.

Sexy looking car though.

My boss and I might look into Dbach's work, but once I get my car (and it will be Jet Black), I'll probably get back into detailing my own stuff. Gotta build up a collection again.

Just had mine detailed, paint correction and all... guy did an AMAZING job. He is a mobile service based in Wake Forest. VERY reasonably priced. VERY happy BMW owner here. He uses the Menzerna's line of products.
Did such a GREAT job he is coming back in two weeks to touch it up before my Wedding.
