Detail shop in Queens?

WayneM3 · 04-17-2015, 10:00 PM

It is time to have my car cleaned up and not look like a beater. Everything is dirty - outside, engine and not so much the inside. I am looking for a reasonable place in Queens (preferably near-ish Maspeth where I work) to make it look like new. I am looking for a step above a normal car-wash place (although some of those might be good) but I am not spending $600 or even $400 to have it detailed - it just isn't worth it to me. I was hoping to get the full clay-bar, swirl removal and wax as well as cleaning the engine bay and the leather interior. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

That's a tough bargain. Wash, clay, a one step polish, then wax. That's at least 10-12 hours of work. At least if you do it properly. Any hack can go to town with a machine for a cheap price, but it will cost you more in the long run with the paint damage they'll do.

Wash and a good wax and you'll be better off.

Lol you're funny. A good exterior detail alone costs around $400

Bro if your serious I'll ask my boy he's the best in the business.. He's not in queens he's in farmingdale but worth the trip.. Hell also come to you but that costs extra.. Lmk if your serious he'll probably charge 300/350 but worth every penny.. Don't take your car to those car washes they'll destroy the paint..
