Default any good detailers in edmonton?

Looking to get my car polished/waxed, was wondering if anyone knows a good detailer or detail shop in edmonton?

I had my car polished and waxed in edmonton at auto details last summer, which is supposed to be a highly reputable shop, but it was very expensive and I was still quite unimpressed with the results.

Any detail advice would be appreciated, thanks.

i have swirls in the paint that need to be removed with a rotary or orbital machine which i do not have, plus i don't have any experience using one so i would rather pay somebody who knows what they're doing so it turns out nicely.

all of my swirls are from a wash mite I find if I use a good polish then wax it reduces them . thats as good as i can do it by hand .

^ haha yeah you have a black car as well so you know annoying swirls can be. .

I've tried to wax mine by hand before, and it looks good for a few washes but then the swirls just come back..i'd like to have it machine polished to see if that makes a bigger difference.

Hopefully someone out there knows of a good detailer...

Call my mate Scott at 932-2400 and tell him Vince sent you.

He does mobile service, knows his stuff really well.

Ah the joys of owning a black car.
Looks amazing when clean ( for the first 30 seconds in alberta, then looks dusty again)
One of the reasons why I sold my berlina
