With all due respect to RichP, I believe it was I (not him) who recommended Martin's to you. If I recall correctly, RichP lives in NY somewhere & probably wouldn't go to Union City for a carwash (LOL).

akwhite330i;, I am truly sorry about what happened to your ride.

Martin's really hasn't done me any wrong at all, but I can certainly see how what you described could happen. There are 3 Martin's in the same area, and they all almost always rotate their staff like any other place so...

I agree about the place on River Road: its excellent, except I rarely have to go down River Road towards Fort Lee in that direction.

Concierge Hand Car Wash
360 Old River Rd, Edgewater, NJ

It looks like an old body shop, but they do a great job. They spray the car off first, then use wool mitts to wash the car (and separate wool mitts to clean the wheels). Then they hand dry the car and clean out the interior. On the weekends there may be a bit of a line, but its definitely worth the wait.

CnoteMD: do they do detail? damn i cant believe i didnt know this sooner!! i hang around there all the time!!! at mitsuwa! i'll go there before the meet this weekend! you should come!

RichReg: yea sorry now I remember! it's you!!!! you introduce that horrible place to me!! hahaha...just kidding! they did me no harm as well...the guys there actually treat my car really well. if they miss a spot the manager/owner will make them clean it.

Yes, they do detail work. I will probably get a full detail there in the near future. They are also ok with you bringing your own polishes and waxes. When I get my car detailed, I will bring my Klasse set (AIO and SG)

I wish I could make it to the meet considering this is the closest meet so far to where I live.

do you know how much they charge? do they look into details like vents, vacuum trunk..etc...?

so you should come! i'll put you on the list

e90fanatic · 06-12-2007, 08:56 PM

richreg, are you able to join us?

RichReg · 06-12-2007, 10:09 PM

As far as a full detail goes, I do that myself, with a clay bar, Zaino Pre-cleaner and finally Zaino itself. If you're just going for a car-wash, yeah, I probably could join you guys, but it would likely have to be during the week at lunchtime, cause I'd be coming from Lincoln Harbor in Weehawken.

Edit: Oh, I see.... you guys are having a meet @ Garden State Plaza in Paramus (I thought this was a car-wash thread!!). I'll have to see what's up with this weekend, not sure yet....

RichReg · 06-12-2007, 10:23 PM

O.K., I got it now...I'll let you know.

fizzle · 06-12-2007, 10:44 PM

haha yea the GSP meet was last week. i too do my own detailing work so i dont bring it somewhere to get detailed and for washes i usually do that myself. i find it cheaper and it comes out 100X better when i do it myself, plus i use MF towels not some towel that was used 10X before my car....

Maybe this should be your side job. I'm pretty sure detailers make pretty good money.

Depends on how much you are charging. lol!

e90fanatic · 06-13-2007, 09:15 AM

i sense a group buy...lol....i need detailer too...too lazy to do it myself lately...been too tired

e90fanatic · 06-13-2007, 10:03 AM

Jake....u dont need a resume...just need a good buffer, lots of MF towels and also Meguire NXT stuff or Zaino..lol...ull make lots!

TiAg335i · 06-13-2007, 10:02 PM

lol, you guys are debating over the best car wash...well I am sorry to break it to you all but that search is a dead end, they are all bad in some form or another. Take my advice and do everything yourself.

madman23 · 06-13-2007, 10:53 PM

So how much is a god price? I have used many products and i guess ill just use anything the car owner wants me to. I did the green audi about a week before the meet and it still looked good. i didnt even have to wax it it was so good. but hey, i need the money.

e90fanatic · 06-13-2007, 10:58 PM

u should buy a set of zaino and then do details...200 bucks each time...and that does not need to be shared with uncle sam..ull be rich in no time

but the difficulty of the zaino application will i ever going to pay 200 bucks for a detail...

madman23 · 06-13-2007, 11:07 PM
