Best detailer in Boston ?
Guys - I've usually done my own detailing on my 335 but I have recently suffered from this plague of catepilars in the trees. Their droppings have actually etched my clearcoat (in one day!) and I'm not feeling up to claying the car on my own.
I know I had heard of a great detailer in Winchester but have long forgotten the name of the place. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Also, anyone have any horror stories of potholes this past season ? I have two tires showing a bulge where I've hit a couple of unavoildable canyons. Hoping I can still drive on them given the strength of the sidewalls. Dan

The detailer in Winchester is "JD" and his shop is AutoSalonDetailing (http://www.autosalondetailing.com/) His number is 781-771-1500 .
He's been detailing my cars for years and he is one of the best around. He will also use any product you want (for example Zaino) if you have specific preferences . He's a great guy and very busy. - Jan

Give Ryan a call. He's a well-known Autopia member, and his work is spectacular. He's in NH, but he's mobile.

Although we have never met, my brother and I have been driving by your vast collection of cars for years - as we live by the Bellevue GC. I am sorry to hear about the catapillar funk in your trees, and also feel your pain as I have had 2 bent oem rims and flat/bubbled 3 tires (replaced by a tire and rim warranty offered from the dealership). The recent construction on the roads nearby isn't helping either I have a close friend who details cars on weekends VERY professionally. He has been doing it for years. He has done our cars in the past and does a good amount of work for people on the audi-forums. You can see his work at: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134552 http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...i%20S4%202001/ he's based out of Brookline, but he has been coming to Melrose to detail our cars for years.. PM me if you are interested. ~kev

Vast collection of cars?? Are these cars not mentioned in the profile, or the ones that are mentioned in the profile.

I was referring to his past collection of cars - mentioned in his profile. He seems to goes through cars like I go through sneakers.

Okay.. Just wanted to make sure there weren't any vintage Ferrari's or anything that I haven't been invited to see.

Thanks guys - having seen Jan's car in person, I'm going to pursue the shop in Winchester. If he can't squeeze me in, I've got plenty of other excellent choices from all of you.
Kev - stop by any time you're driving past. Would love to see the wagon (those wheels look familiar - had them on my SAAB). I should be out washing mine on almost any weekend.

Dan - If I see you outside, I will definitely stop to chat.. I do remember the Saab wagon with the BBS, very nicely put together. Let me know if the Winchester detail doesn't pan out.

His prices have always been very fair, and his work is outstanding. He has detailed everything from Porsches, Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc etc.. Not only does he do an outstanding job, he can be pretty hands on in education with great tips on car care such as washing and waxing, clay bar, pine tar removal, product pros and cons etc etc.

For those that don't mind driving out to Metro West. My buddy, Matt, has a detailing shop in Framingham on Route 9. It's http://www.luxurydetails.net
He Zaino'ed and Leatherique'ed my E55 and it looked AWESOME.

Really looking forward to getting this done well.. That being said, I am off to fully detail the interior and wheels, and turn my garage into a class 100 cleanroom..

I did my full interior detail this past weekend. Still haven't found the perfect tool to clean my wheels as well as I'd like. I think I need a small brush, maybe even a toothbrush. |
