I have had my Mini Chili Red for almost a year now. What should I look for in a professional detailer? I want to give my Mini a good clean-up for the summer. I need advice.

Thanks

 

A good start would be the Detailing101 Forum here on MCO!

...oh, you mean giving the keys to a detailing shop...um, I dunno, I've always done my own stuff, hmmm. A best guess would be to ask your buddies who the best is in your area.

Cheers,
Ryan

 

If you are going to pay for someone to do it, find out these things

1) REFERENCES - go and look at cars they have done(black is a good color to look at as any screw ups in it are easily seen) and talk to some of their previous customers.

2) Find out what products they use then post them in the detailing forum and ask for some feedback on them. Alot of detailers use really nice stuff - but stuff that will only last for 1 month tops as they want you to come back often to them. Only a few detailers use zaino as they won't see their customers for a year if they do and isn't good for their business.

Question - why do you want to use a professional detailer? Why not do it yourself? I don't mean to ask that in a rude sense, just curious. Are you afraid of doing it, screw it up etc? If you are new to it and want someone to show you what you should be doing I'm sure you can find a detailing mini owner nut in your area that would be glad to help you with it and show you what you should and shouldn't do in person for a beer or two.
