Socal detailer recommendations

Hey guys,

Wondering if you guys have any experience or recommendations for a detailer in socal. Looking into getting a clear bra for the front bumper, I guess people call it Paint Protection Film (PPF) now. Also looking to have them do ceramic coating of the vehicle. Cquart UK seems like the legit one.

Any suggestions?

Where in socal are you located?

I do paint correction/ceramic coatings but don't do PPF. I do know a few good shops that could take care of you depending on your location.

Dave is honest and treats your car as his own. I didn't do a PPF - got my brother's car detailed. But his 5 star rating is legit.

ECOLuxury in Orange. They operate out of SSR's shop. They do PPF and Ceramic/paint correction. Knick is the guy there, he did my M2.

Anyone have any feedback on Rhino custom or Elite Auto spa? i was looking at the "mini details" just basic exterior with some clay barring since our cars are still so new, all the prices for these basic details used to be around 100-120..since then seems like they have gone up to 170-190

Should never clay bar unless car is being polished. Unless they use lots of clay lube and throughly decontaminate the car first, and then clay with a very fine synthetic clay substitute.

Yes. Because claying can/will almost always introduce marring. Again if it's a very light synthetic clay and using lots of proper lubricant it becomes less of a problem.

Cruz Mobile Detail did my c quartz for a very reasonable price. Umberto is awesome. Highly recommended.

I am doing clear bra (on only a door rocker) at either eurovision or unique auto films.
