I know this is bumping a thread from the dead. However, I would like to give my experience and input on this as I too was looking for a detailer in the san diego area to take care of my Tesla. I thought I knew a thing or 2 when it came to car care and I was so wrong. After talking to professionals in the trade I learned so much that this was a science in itself. I went to multiple detailers and spoke to them so I could make the best decision I could. I learned my lesson going to cheap detailers; that a quality job you must pay for especially if you want it to last.
Now most of the major shops I went too the owners don't really do too much of the detailing. It is mostly paid workers that didn't obviously have the same experience and expertise the shop owners do. Something important to me is if I am paying for the expertise of the shop owner I want that experience, not some person who decided to pick up a buffer one day. Another thing I did not like is almost every detailer I went too, whatever coating system they had they said it was the best and they dismissed any other brands except 1 guy. Which I understand from a business point of view. I looked at all their work and saw how they conducted business. Which I have to say, all of the work I saw from the different detailers it all looked great.
1 detailer stood out to me. I think it was the way he approached detailing in the sense he was very curious not just about the car but about me as well. He took the time to get to know the car and myself. He said the reason why it is important, is because building a complete and thorough profile allows him to figure out what is best for my application instead of just selling me something I may not need. During the entire consultation process he not only explained all the processes to me but also why each process needed to be done. He also had tools that no other detailer had that I saw and they blew me away. Another thing that impressed me was the fact he was the only detailer I came across that carried a lot of different professional and amateur coatings. So he wasn't really selling me on 1 brand. He said the reason he carries so many is because he wants to give his clients options; as well as depending on the applications certain brands just work better than others. Which he was absolutely right! Apparently he has been on the forefront of ceramic coatings every since they debuted. He has been using them before most of these major brands even existed. He has been professionally detailing for roughly 20 years and I can tell you it shows. D'elegance Detailing is your 1 stop shop. They do it all from anything detailing, window tint, clear bra PPF, wraps, as well as other enhancement things. I would recommend you give him a call 619-718-0031. What is funny is he even recommended me do my research with other detailers in the area so I could make an informed decision. I mean who does that lol?
Oh and btw, he is the only detailer in the area right now that has this technologically advanced self heal coating system. Kind of like the scratch healing clear bra but its not a clear bra. It is a coating. He showed it to me and it was amazing! I think I may have him re coat my cars with it cause apparently over time it looks better than the rest due to the self heal.
