Mobile Auto Detailer ??
 

Getting ready to sell a car - want to spiff it up - but don't need a Total Recon approach.

Searched the forums - not much, but there was a 2015 post about KK Auto Detailing. Not considering as its outdated.

Found a 2021 posting suggesting Jesse's Mobil Detailing...but Mr. Wonderful blessed it:duck:

Anyone have positive recent experience with a mobile auto detailer besides Jesse's?

I use Zee (Sparkle Effects Mobile Detailing) @ 352-321-1974

Someone posted a month or so ago about a guy named Gordon Hamm who details and then you pay what it should be worth and he donates it. Number posted was
352-396-8509.
I haven't tried him yet, but wrote it down for future reference. If you put his name in the search function that whole thread should come up for you.

Highly Recommend.

Thank you everyone. I will close this thread with an outcome once one is reached.

;) Mr. Wonderful recommends too! :rolleyes:

Hmmmmm.

Saying U R a Mod??

I trust that guy.

:BigApplause:

I cannot confirm nor deny....

:bigbow:

If you’re a Mod I NOTHING but give up!

YES...call Gordon Hamm....352-396-8509. All proceeds go to charity. You pay what you think the job is worth ( no kidding). He also does golf carts, suv's , and motorcycles. Village resident too!

We recently had our car detailed by Lavish Mobile Detailing, Chanson Gassett, 352-284-4441. While he was here, our next door neighbor hired him. When we sold our car, our buyer hired him to do their car that they were selling. All of us were very pleased with the detailing and the price.

KK did both of our cars and did a great job at a reasonable price. We had to take them to his shop on Hwy 25 at Griffin rd.

:boom: UPDATE :boom:

For those - like me - looking to get a quality detail (and for me within the next 2 weeks). Here's my experience thus far.

Several positive responses from cherished posters for Jesse's Mobile Detailing - I chose Jesse as my first go to.

Sent text - no response after 24 hours. Sent email - no response after a second 24 hour window. Attempted to call - no rings, goes direct to message "the person u r trying to reach is not available" along with no opportunity for leaving a VM.

Jesse is MIA.

I'm not discounting the possibility that Jesse might be dealing with a situation that requires his full attention outside his income stream. Things happen all the time and sometimes one needs to unplug for a bit. However, if one is in business and needs to unplug then there should be some form of messaging or auto reply so that folks - like me looking for a first time to use a mobile detailer - don't think that one has posted the Out of Business sign.

Thank you for that.

Thanks for that and I do see other positive comments for this person....buuuuuut....I'm going to pass as I prefer a straight business arrangement.

Again, thanks for taking the time to provide the info.

Yes - agree. Total Recon is off the chart quality and I use his services on a periodic basis. What I'm looking for now is driveway level detailing.

Most excellent - thank you for that!

I went with Lavish Mobile Detailing - Chanson Gassett, mature young adult who's OCD about obtaining the finest outcome possible - 352-284-4441.

Timely - fit me in as soon as he could.

Thorough - communicated the realities of the car's current condition, discussed what was possible and the why's and why nots for different options along with projected outcomes for chosen options.

Knowledgeable - I'm no expert but to me he seems to have an extensive amount of insights about all products and types of services available in the auto detail world.

Cost - he detailed a 2011 SUV style vehicle with the purpose of best presentation for trade-in or private sale. $200 for a double exterior wash, rim detailing, interior detail of dash, doors, seats, center console, carpet, roof liner and "trunk" area. The car looked great at that point given its 11 year age - but I also went with a clay bar prep and buffer wax of the exterior paint - for an additional $100.

$300 transformed an 11 year old 126k on the clock everyday driver parked outside fulltime for 6 years the remainder in a garage into a near showroom appearing "new car" look from 10 feet away.

Chanson did an impressive job - I thought the price was very fair - and he put in more hours than what he charged me for.

Chanson is my absolute go-to guy for all my driveway detailing requirements. He transports everything in his finely detailed vehicle. The target vehicle could be located in a desert - it doesn't matter - as he carries everything (water, electricity, etc) to accomplish any task one might need.

There was no aggressive selling and no disappointments.

Telephone disconnected

My biggest need is carpet floor mats being shampooed. Is that part of detailing? Is there a car wash that does just that function as an option?
