What are some good places in San Diego/Orange County area that do the best details. Wash, wax, the whole thing.

I have been going to the same place for 3 years and have never let anyone else wash my car.

It is in the parking structure at Metro Point off South Coast Drive.

The name of the Place is Unique Auto Detail or something.

the guys name is Vic. He hooks it up BIG TIME!!!!! They do tint, paintless dent removal, everything... but his car washes are cheap and come out amazing.

his normal hand wash/hand wax is only 20 dollars and turns out better than the 80 dollar ones most people pay for. He does the complete inside and out, polishes the wheels, etc.

I always send him business.

$20.00 for hand wash AND wax. Real wax? You're kidding right?
How much does he charge for complete details?
Does he have a web site?
Is he really busy on Saturday afternoons?

I tried Unique at 949 South Coast Dr. CM this afternoon.
"Deluxe Wax & More" is a little more than $20.00. More like $35.00. His brochure has a price list but I think the prices are negotiable.
Vic gave me a very nice discount on his $95.00 "Exterior Detailing". It includes clay bar, wax, floor mats, Wheel Brite & tire dressing.
I'm very happy with the job, his price, his knowledge, free advice and him personally. Oh, and he drives a Black 650Ci so he knows how to treat our babies.

NICE!!!! glad to hear you had a good experience!!!

Vic is a very down to earth guy and doesnt try to cheat anyone... so what did you pay for all of that?

most people would charge almost 200 bucks for clay bar, wax, floor mats, wheel brite, tire dressing...

shit most people charge 100 bucks to do wheel bright and pollish wheels.

$65.00.
Per his brochure, all new customes get 20% 1st visit. He did a little better than that for me yesterday.
Thanks for the tip.

Do you know how they are at tinting? Would be nice to get detail and tint done at the same time, and be able to go across the street and wait in the mall.
