IMO you need to post full on sun shots to really show the work of the detailer. this way you can see the swirl/halogram free condition of the paint.

cloudy/dusk/indoor shots really hide holograms and swirls.

not to take anything away from him though.

Can anyone recommend anyone else in the LA area? I'm looking for a FULL detail like Stephen does.

Thanks
It’s been a while since I’ve called him. Sorry, but I think he has either changed his number or is not in business anymore. I’m also looking for new detailer. Let us know if you find anyone decent.

Starting with the interior. So for he's doing a great job, very meticulous.

Found a great detailer in Los Angeles that uses Zaino-2.jpg

Paint is pretty badly oxidized and water spotted.

Just slapped on the Volks from my supra. I know, it needs to be lowered!

What products did ACA use? How many hours did he spend on your car and how much?

The OP paid $225 for that 11 hour detail. Mike Luca would probably charge a $1000. He may be good, but there are many good detailers with more reasonable pricing.

I can't image $225 for and 11 hour detail. That's too much work for the detailer.

$225 for a 4 hour detail is about average... 11 hours? I'd be surprised if that guy is making any money
