First the standard disclosure - I've got nothing to gain from this recommendation....I paid full price & will gladly continue to do so.


After toiling over which film product to install (roadgard, 3M, Venture etc.) I decided to use a new version of Venture the was just recently released. Next I needed to decide where to go. A couple of members from this forum recommended Sean from Ultimate Auto Care in Orange CA. Well thanks for the recommendation:thumbsup


This isn't my first "nice" car...I've been to many high end detailers in Sol Cal and haven't been happy with any of them. There's usually a smooth talker in the front office and a bunch of low paid knuckle-heads in the back with a buffer. Not the case at Ultimate. Everyone I met there was a professional and the shop was immaculate. I brought the GT in with quite a few battle-scars from less talented detailers. Some, from what it appears, supported their body weight with a buffing wheel on my car.:bang As well as a host of other issues. They had it for 2 days and I'm delighted to say it looks better than new. They got out ever imperfection before they covered it in Venture Shield. Which, IMO, has less orange peel than anything I've seen to date. No "milkiness" or stretch marks either. Every time I called (probably too many times) Sean picked up the phone personally to give me an update. It wasn't "cheap" but this is a great example of you get what you pay for.....and, in retrospect, I'd have paid more. No one will touch my car other than Ultimate from now on.....

Also, this should put an end to the debate as to which is the best color for a GT......clearly all black is the way to go.:biggrin

Sorry, I thought your red GT got caught behind a tar truck and they were cleaning it up. My mistake.

They do have mobile detail as well. Not sure how many trucks he has but having them come down during the rally is a great idea. I expect you'll be as pleased as I am.

...I assume you're referring to the best INTERIOR color, correct? :lol

(Why does that pack of cigarettes on your dash have a power cord attached to it? :rofl )

I've know Sean for 5 years. He's done 8 cars for me and countless others for friends. He works like a surgeon and is more anal than I am when it comes to detail.

Bony, if you're serious about the detailing during/after the rally, please let me know and I'll try to arrange something with Sean.

Cheers!

Yes, what would be great is to have a complete wash during the night we arrive, I will be driving from Fresno to Scottsdale, then to the Fairmont with the caravan. Then on Saturday night a complete detail before the ride home. All this must occur at night so we can use the cars during the day. I have no idea if DBK has made arrangements or not,... but I am in. Many kind thanks.

I'm in too.

I honestly feel like in the last six months I've finally mastered the art of properly detailing a car (at least the exterior, still haven't gotten serious about interior other than just keeping it clean in the first place...).

Anyway, it took the inspiration of owning the GT to get me interested in doing this task right, and now I appreciate what it takes to do the job thoroughly and correctly, and thus I'm more picky than ever about letting someone else touch it. But the widespread endorsements here have convinced me to let these guys do the work, and it would be a great way to get our cars properly sparkling for the event.
