Good Detailer in SoCal? (Around San Gabriel Valley)
Hey,
Im looking for a good detailer around the san gabriel valley. Im located in Rowland Heights.
Im looking for a decent price as well
I got some minor scrapes on my bumper thanks to a lady who couldnt drive.
Im not trying to detail the whole bumper, just the scratches.
Heres a picture.

I sure hope thats paint transfer, not primer showing. Otherwise you'd have to repaint if it IS primer
There is no official detailer sponsor for SoCal anymore since John's thing expired this month or something. However, theres plenty of people around you who do have some experience if I have my bearings correct

If it's down to the plastic, you're going to have to retouch it with some paint. Detailing wont really do anything if there isn't paint on the spot. I had kind of the same problem, but I eventually fixed it. However, most aftermarket paints didn't match OEM that well. I really need to find a place that sells OEM paint in a small bottle without killing me.

Thats where I bought my original spray can. It's not a perfect match. In fact it looked slightly dark gray than black. I used it on my roof spoiler and it came out pretty bad so I lost motivation to fix it.
I also used it to fix a scrape on the front bumper (down to the plastic). You can't tell where I repaired it but if you look very very close, you can see the slight difference.
Now the touchup pen I had at the dealer was PERFECT. It was true OEM match, but I couldn't use it to repair anything more than a rock chip, thus I want to get an equivalent in spray can form.
