Default Wanted: Professional mobile detailer, Pinellas

Looking for recommendations for a GOOD professional mobile detailer who will work South Pinellas. Prefer someone you have used personally. Would also like to hear of any to avoid.

Thanks!

John Wilson of Auto XTC is their one and only master corvette tech. He has detailed in the past and if he doesn't do this anymore, I would think he would know someone close by to help you. Larry French is the owner and their number is 727-573-1292. Tell them Mark from Bradenton referred you.
PS: John also has judged several shows and if you are showing, he can help you with the attention to detail.

Contact Backyard Mechanic, He just started his mobile detailing business. He does a great job on his multiple show winning '02 Coupe, I'll bet he can bring your car up to a show winning finish.

This is a biased free plug for Rob's new business.

Because I have trouble with my back. Last time I gave it a reasonably full wash I was in major pain for 6 weeks. Believe me, I would rather do it myself. Nobody is as picky as I am. Right, Rashelle?

Rob,

No, I have had no recommendations - other than you!

Yes, I remember our meeting. Pretty good day, wasn't it?

I live in far south Pinellas - just over the bridge. In your case I wouldn't ask you to come up often - too expensive, as I need to compensate you for the travel time. When I first posted this I thought I would be moving the C5 to a dealer in short order. Now I think that I won't sell it until the C6 is either very close or already here (unless some private party wants to buy it sooner). When I'm ready to do that I'd like you to come up and give it a whiz-bang detail. I will then shop it to several dealers over the course of a day or two and the best offer gets it. As I'm sure you're aware, the right detail can make a huge difference in such a situation.

I treat people that help me with my car well. Ask Greg. You won't regret the drive. I'll let you know when the time comes. Thanks for being willing to consider coming up here. Dave

I do understand what a great detail can do to the value of a car,And when you are ready for that just let me know so I can reserve that day for youRemember my offer still stands for 10% off to all forum membersAnd I'm the type of person who will drive about anywhere to help out a fellow corvetter,If you know of anyone that may need my services ,just let them know my info.Thanks for your reply,talk to you soon,Rob
