In San Jose the best place to take it to would be AJ's Auto Detailing if you're willing to drive here

Wow, I just yelp Jeff, very nice work. However, the apartment I live at = no space for car washes

He does work out of his house as well, so you can drop your car off with him rather than him traveling... if that works for you.

I have been to California Detaililng (in San Francisco) several times for a detail, and each time my car looks and feels like a brand new car! Do keep in mind, that I also have a black car which I think is the hardest to detail properly.

Jim and Carlos are magicians and can turn an old neglected car into a brand new showroom car!

The only downside that I can think of is that they are a little bit more on the expensive end (but hey, you get what you pay for) and also, the ramp leading up to the garage is horrible for lowered cars!

But other than that, a definite A+ in my book.

Here is what my car looked like after their detailing (no swirl marks and no scratches):

AJ was good for your basic car wash (exterior wash, wax, and shampoo carpet) but for a full detail, I would go somewhere else. Had 2 cars done there in the past and wasn’t fully happy with the end result.

I personally haven't used their full detail services but i agree their car washes and express wax service is great.

I would like to add Detail Addict for a full detail service. They do amazing work! If only i had money to keep my car fully detailed monthly that would be great

Here's my car featured on their website:

I have read only good things about CA detailing, and the owner is an avid lexus fan. I plan on going to him very soon when spring comes

+1 for Jeff at Immaculate Reflections.

I haven't tried out his services yet, but he posts a lot of his work in the motorcycle forum I'm on.

The exotic car dealers use him to detail their cars.

Pretty good shiet.
