G, I have been going there for over 7 years so far I haven't had no complain, as of yet that is. I always pass the one next to PC Richards and never realized it was a 'hand wash'. Good feedback another place thats added to my list.
keep em coming.

Any suggestions guys?

I had a spot in Y.O. for you D... but he closed it down... sorry man... he was the best... he used to jack up the car to get the fender linning spic&span clean... old school detailer... it was in a back alley right off Yonkers Ave... It was his side thing and he didn't have time anymore... he'll probably open back up in the spring... He's President of the LUNATICS Low Rider Car Club... I'll let you know if he opens back up...

This place def has some rock bottom prices..

heard that optimum stuff is amazing, I am going to be ordering a couple of gallons soon...but am hesitant on using it on a dark color..and especially if the car is real dusty

You'll only need 1 capful (30ml) per 2 gallons water...I believe the biggest size is 128oz which goes for a little over $40 dollars..If you use an average of 4 gallons per wash, the 128oz bottle will last you about 64 washes..Great product with multiple uses..

ONR is very slick and is not suppose to leave swirls if you use the two bucket method religiously..

Since my car is under the cover, I mostly use various quick detailers (UQD, #34, NXTQD..etc) to get rid of dust and then wash with ONR every other week..QD is a very handy for the winter time especially when you don't want to freeze..

There is a handwash on Midland, and they are decent but they just don't do it for me (they wipe too hard for one thing).

My search continues.........

Yeah man real good prices and top notch work, just slower than watching grass grow.

I wish I could transport them to Yonkers bro.

BTW, the place I mentioned earlier is not hand wash. Not sure if you prefer only hand wash but I just wanted share that.

My 7series literally lived in this place, as do all the cars on our project page (Bentley, 997TT, Lambo included). Everything from Evo to RR Phantom comes through this place.

BAD NEWS: They are SLOW (how slow you ask?), we all just take our cars and leave them there. lol

Are these guys good at removing superficial scratches ?? Im visiting the area soon and really want a good detail and my car has some ugly swirls which previous detailers have left behind i would do it myself but my schedule gets so hectic by the time im out its dark so yea .. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
