Good detailing shop in Maryland?

brian0128 · 02-24-2011, 07:38 PM

Anyone have any experience with a good detailing shop in Maryland? The car wash I take my Jeep to get washed at has a detailing service and the cars that leave there come out looking good but I'm looking for a place that can do minor scratch repair, clay bar, paint cleaning and waxing.

If it was just putting a coat of wax and detailing the interior I would, but since I bought the car used with 48k miles it needs the attention of a professional. The passenger seat could use a steam cleaning due to what looks like water spots on the seat. It's possible the previous owner left the window down or something. As for the exterior it needs some paint correction that will include clay/polish/wax at the very least and also some scratch repair.

I've been looking steadily for over a week now and the shop that has the best reviews in this area that I could find is called D&D Detailing. D&D Auto Detailing in northern Virginia - D&D Auto Detailing in northern Virginia The owner's name is Dan Cohen and he does some incredible work. I thought I'd share the link to save some people the trouble of looking like I did.

I had my car done at d&v a few months back, as i was impressed by some of their other work and bbq.

The inside looked great, the outside was OK, and they decided to cancel my clear bra install (drove 90min to get the detail + clear bra) w/o telling me. They then would not call me back nor answer my phone calls. Some had great success, but I will never go there again.

Brian,

I get a lot of work done at D&L tinting in White Marsh dltinting and I have always been satisfied with their work. Ask for Rich, he is their best detailing guy and absolutely loves to make cars shine. Full detailing at D&L will run you about $150 vs $300 at other places.
