Need a good detailer ASAP, anyone help?
Firstly, I contacted Brendan and he's booked solid, that would have been my first choice but he's unavailable, I need someone by the 24th (next saturday)

I have 2 vehicles, some pretty extensive work to be done.

One vehicle needs a complete interior wash + shampoo + stain removal

and the other is a fairly new SUV, just needs a thorough cleaning on the interior + engine bay and a single stage polish.

Does anyone know anybody in the GVR that does a decent job?
I'm looking for someone locally

I was hoping to stay local, I have 2 cars but only 1 person to drive them. I know detailing takes forever I don't wanna be stranded there. I'm dropping off one of the cars @ yaletown auto spa on sunday, anyone know if they're decent?

I bring my car to "World Class Auto Care" since they are located in my building. They do a pretty good job and decent rates.

I took the crappier car in and it came out pretty good. Most of the dirt/stains are gone and the interior feels pretty fresh. I'm looking for a proper place to do a detail on my suv now but I got exams this week so it'll probably have to be sometime after. Sorry about photos had no camera on me besides blackberry

What's the best service to really make paint shine? Mine's looking a little dull, and I want it shimmering.
