Hello Guys,

i think this might've been my first post on My350Z since i usually hang around on G35drivers...so.. nice to meet you all!!
annnnnnd.. here is my question.......can anybody recommend any nice detailing shop around Toronto Area???
I have tried to do a search before my post but couldn't find anythign that's specific to Toronto ...
i have seen many detailng shops around here but I cant tell which one is good..
so anybody with any good experiences.. please share 'em with me...

my budget is within CAD $200 (incl. tax) if that plays an important factor by any chance....


thanks in advance for any inputs!

what kind of detailing are you looking for? just a good clean inside/out? or looking to get a good wax done with removal of swirls and other surface defects?

just save up another $200 for a good detailer?

I rather pay Kev's GTAinDetail $500. Nothing less.

Or buy a polisher for $200 and do it yourself.

we should write our testimonials on certain detailers in this thread

yeah i am lookin' for a good wax that'd hopefully remove some siwrls and water marks here and there..


i could be wrong.. but it seems a bit hard to convince myself spending over $200 for a waxing/detailing job.. by no means am i trying to offend anyone here... it is jsut that if i have that extra 300 bucks .. i'd rather spend it on something else (ie: a pair of sunglasses maybe?!?..)..

anyways... i may be lookin into buying a polisher and do it myself (that means i'd have to learn how to wax properly first).. but if anyone has had any good experience with any detailing shop....i'd appreciate if you can share it w/ me.

thanks again.

^hey,

If all you want to do is wax your ride, then I would highly recommend doing it yourself.

Getting an exterior detail usually involves the use of a multi stage polishing compound which actually removes a tiny layer of your Clear Coat. This will remove most surface imperfections such as swirls and minor scratches.

I would highly recommend you do a little research on,

Its well worth your time.

Good luck!

Edit: forgot to mention.. ZAINO, FTW!

kevin's work speaks for itself and is well worth the extra $250 if you want it done properly.

depending on how bad of a shape your car is in, a single step polish might do the trick, and $300 isn't too far off from your budget in the long run...

if you show pics of your car to kevin, he won't try to sell you the multi-step unless you really need it.

If you thought the Z was bad, the 2's even worse... Doesn't even look like the previous owners even touched the paint in terms of care.
