Hi all,

Long time lurker, and detail hobbyist. I'm in the SF Bay Area, and I'm looking for a good detailer in the East Bay. I enjoy detailing, but find I don't have time these days to do the type of full detail I'd like; the type I see on these forums. A full prep/decon, light polish, and LSP. I've used a couple people before, but, frankly, have been very disappointed. These guys were detailers that didn't sweat the details (polish residue in crevices, hard water spots created, mesh air intake/grills not cleaned, etc, etc), and they weren't cheap. I don't mind paying for the work, as I know how much time it takes to do it properly, but don't tell me something took 10 hours when I know it took 3. I wish some of you pros on this forum were local to me. Anyways, any recommendations would be appreciated.

If this is in the wrong place, I apologize. I didn't see a 'local' or 'Looking For' subsection. Thanks!

+1 for these guys in Orinda !

They post all the time for years on autopiaforums.com, and their work is incredible..

I am also a Professional Detailer and if I didnt want to or could not Detail my own Black Grand Cherokee, I know that these guys could do it.

And Im a really detail-oriented person, so perfection is the lowest part of the Baseline...

Look up David Saunders of Street Dreams Detail in San Diego. He used to live in NJ but move about a year ago. He does great work and is a great guy. He used to do my cars ( correction and Coating). I maintained them.

Yeah, I totally agree - David is absolutely the BEST !!

But he is SoCal and the OP is in the Bay Area, around 450+ miles away...
