I know I dont post much here, but I do lurk alot. I thought I would post up to give another detailing option for those on the "west side".

I have been detailing cars, as a career or hobby, since ~1990 and have worked on everything from beaters to a Bugatti (yes a real one) to boats and motorcycles. I currently work weekends from my home in Belleville and pride myself in quality and attention to detail in cleaning, polishing and removing scratches and swirl marks.

A quick rundown of my process:

Clean degease engine and whell wells with Meguiars APC+
Clean wheels and tires with appropriate cleaners (meguiars, Eagle One, etc)
Wash vehicle using Meguiars car wash shampoo
Remove bugs and tar and rewash those areas
Clay vehicle using Sonus, Meguiars or Clay-Majic clay

Polish to remove swirls, spiderwebs and scratches using Menzerna, Optimum or Meguiars product by machine and foam pads
final polish or glaze, depending on application, for a better than new look
apply one coat of carnuba wax or sealant by Optimum, PoorBoys, Pinnacle, Zaino, etc
seal wheels with Wheel Wax
dress tires with appropriate dressing based on look desired
dress wheel wells

vacuum and spot treat interior and mats
shampoo / hot water extract all carpets and mats
clean vinyl and plastic interior surfaces and protect with 303
clean door jams
clean interior and exterior glass
clean and condition leather seats

All steps listed above generally goes between $130 - 150 based on condition of the vehicle, but some could be higher (SUV's, trucks, extra dirty cars, etc).
