interior "detailing" place around t.o?

markham335i · 03-16-2011, 05:52 PM

I know there are a ton of great exterior detailing places around toronto.. Places that can make ur cars paint look brand new and blind u with a wax job.

But out of all the great places that iv seen none offer interior detailing.. Of course they"ll vaccume for u or something but im in search of a place that can wash my bmw carpet matts.. Get rid of the salt stains (from winter) and rly make the car look new inside..

Leme know if u guys know anyone that does great interior detailing

(ill probly be using gta detailing for the exterior but I see he doesn't offer interior)

Thx!!

I would like to know as well!

I think the local TO detailer (sponsor of here) do interior detailing as well.
As long as they have a leather cleaning tool, they can do interior detailing professionally.

I'm gonna clean the carpet myself, I just bought this carpet cleaner from walmart today on sale for 74.99, reg price was $99.99

Jamal from Automotiff is amazing. He did a fantastic job cleaning the exterior and interior of my car last spring. Got rid of all the salt stains and the interior looked brand new.

http://www.autobahnsalon.com Ask for Frank.
He exclusively works on high end cars. He worked my Porsche and many others. Primo work but don't go there with your nickle and dimes. You get what you pay for.

Let us know how that little machine performs. Looks like Canadian Tire has one that has heat on it.

i've seen him work on a forum-member's car at the car wash bay of a condo... that's convenient.

If you're looking for a deal, I usually just follow dealradar and every once in awhile you'll see deals on car detailing. Usually a significant amount off reg pricing.

Kevin done a fantastic job for my car last year but unless he changed his mind, he no longer does interior detailing

I've read about this guy as well but I have no prior experience, he's local as well but not mobile:

I dont know about dealradar but I've heard folks on here got deals from dealfinder/groupon, and the detailing shop didn't do a good job and scratched the paint of the car. All they did was just tried to buff it out and call it the day....

but since you only looking for interior detailing perhaps you dont have to worry about that

MrSkinny · 03-17-2011, 02:25 PM

yup, just need to do a little background checking before committing to one of those deals. some of them are reputable and do a good job. can't paint em all with the same brush.

dealradar consolidates all of those groupon type sites.

Wes_R · 03-17-2011, 09:11 PM

Hey OP, I do interior detailing as well as paint correction.

Here is an example of my work..

Hey guys - I did stop doing interiors a couple years ago when my extractor died, I am a firm believer that you need an extractor to do a proper interior detail job. The idea is that most people can make an interior look good, remove stains etc... but without an extractor you tend to leave a lot of dirt, grime, and most importantly, water in the carpets/headliner foam, etc. The issue with that is, as anyone who has cleaned a carpet with an underpad knows, is that it will mildew after a few days, which I find unacceptable. The last thing I want is to have someone pay me for an interior shampoo, love the job, then have mildew a week later.

That said, I have a new extractor, so I am doing interiors as a part of exterior details (I still won't do them as a stand alone service, sorry). So if you're coming in for a compounding job and want the interior done, I'll do it. Cheers. And Happy Spring!
