Any detailers in DFW area

Anyone know of any good and decent priced detailers in the DFW area? I stay near the DFW airport.

Scottwax might not be too far away. Also you can check out Josh Ottmann Detailing who is in the Dallas area. Both are nationally known and highly respected. With both having years of experience you can't go wrong with either choice.

Freedom Park, parking service at DFW airport is one of the best i have ever used. it is a service they provide if you use their parking service at the airport. they have detailed my black g37 several times and i am impressed. their charge is only $160.00. dont know if they will just detail your car without the parking service but is is worth a call to find out.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I might get some estimates from swisswax and josh ottmann and see how much its gonna cost.

So did Freedom Park really do a good job? I also have a black g37 and the paint has alot of swirls and hazing since I bought it.

I posted this in another thread, but here it is again....

You may be better served asking this in the DFW G Club section on G35Driver.

DFW G35 Owners Club - G35Driver

Or looking in the "where should I go thread" over there: Where in DFW should I go for ...? - G35Driver


The two places recommended were DetailWerks and A Finer Detail (214-676-4895 and A Finer Detail). There are also several local G owners that do good detailing work and paint work. Send me a PM if you want more details.

If you want your car clean and shiny, something like the $160 job mentioned above should be good, and it seems to have some good feedback. I would not do something like that until you have all the current swirls and hazing taken care of. If you really have a lot of swirls and hazing, you need a full paint correction detail first. I don't think this will be less than $300-400 (and maybe more). I would not do it for anything close to that (actually, I don't know if you could pay me enough to do it on someone else's car).

In detailing, you get what you pay for. I am not knocking the $160 job, but there is just no way they can do a good full paint correction detail for that price. I bought a Porter Cable buffer, and started doing all my own detailing on my cars. It should take at least 6-8 minimum to do a proper "paint correction" detailing job. It took me probably 16 to do my Audi Q7 last month (it is a lot bigger than a G...). I also only hand wash my cars, and I refuse to let anyone else wash them (that is usually how your paint gets messed up in the first place), so maybe I am a little extreme on where I stand with detailing.
