Best detailer in Mass?

Nick3237 · 03-10-2010, 12:04 PM

Hey guys, I'm in need of a really good detailer. Someone who actually know's what they're doing haha. There's a lot of local car washes that do "detailing" but im not convinced they really know what they're doing.

I need someone whos good at buffing and compounds, i have a ton of little scratches all over my car, i dont know if im just really unlucky or if BMW just has that bad of paint....

Anyways, any suggestions around the Cape Cod / Boston area?

the best of the best is Rick Nelson at Unique Car Care in Wakefield. His paint correction services are probably the best on the east coast.

Rick will be handling my car once I get a new bumper. I was blown away when I got my car winterized last october. It looked better than when I first picked it up.

I'll probably be looking to get a good, professional detail to start off the Spring/Summer.
How are Rick's rates? I just emailed him.

They're pretty reasonable. You get what you pay for. Especially when it comes to detailing, it's best to leave it to someone who knows what they're doing, rather than going the cheaper route and getting a car back full of swirls. Rick is one of the best around here.

Contacted Rick a few hours ago, seems like a very nice guy, maybe we can get a group thing going...

Anyways, I don't trust my car with too many people, so hearing all the positive feedback, I will definitely go out of my way to go to him.

Rick is hands down the best. But be prepared to pay for the BEST quality detail (actually more of a paint correction process) money can buy.

yup definitely, i understand that quality services don't come cheap. but a good paint correction is definitely worth it in my eyes.

just from the email i got back from him, he said that a 3 step process takes about 15 hours, so i could tell from that it wouldnt exactly be cheap lol.

Jeebus.. I'm just looking for a good wash/detail/buff/wax.

jopa489 · 03-10-2010, 05:21 PM

Don't bother going anywhere else if you want the absolute best - go see Rick and Ryan. Coming from someone who knows a thing or two about detailing and paint correction, they are the best in New England and among the best in the country.

A "normal" detail shop should be able to take care of you then. Rick is quite a few steps above a "normal" detail.

So, would you say that he would be someone that you would go to if you had a lot of scratches and needed someone to really "recover" the quality of the paint? My car is not horrible, but it does have scratches, etc...that I would like to get rid of. I was thinking that his rates would be lower if the car was not bad...

What is a typical cost for something like this?

Yes, that's the very definition of paint correction. Rather than speculate, just PM Rickrack directly. It's difficult to throw out a number without seeing the paint in full sunlight. The time required to correct varies dramatically depending on its condition.

Trying to put together a group detail through Rick.
