Detailing Q

Anyone have any experiences with Ziebart? I'm thinking about going there for an interior/exterior detailing job.

dealer = $89.99 for INTERIOR detailing only
ziebart has a special: interior and exterior for $99.00

yeah yeah, i can do it myself and all......but last time i tried it...my car stayed wet and damp for weeks [V]

RE: Detailing Q

Just my opinion...and mine only. I would NOT take it to a place like that. Even in my small town you can find a ton of small personally owned shops that take a little more pride in their work. If their work sucks, obviously their business will fail. A nation wide chain just hires whoever and they do whatever to your car isn't the place for me. Sure, they may wax it and make it look pretty but more than likely they don't really know all the tricks of the trade and don't have a passion for it like a private owner would.

RE: Detailing Q

Zeibart did my tints and the guy was awesome. I think they are independantly owned so some may be great while the others, who knows, but I would go to this guy anytime. I thought they were only Midwest, where are you located?

RE: Detailing Q

I personally think there's a difference between tinting and car care. I would actually go to Ziebart for a tint job but wouldn't trust them with detailing my Benz.

RE: Detailing Q

i'm out in columbus, ohio. there's quite a few of them here. there's also a ton of them out in Michigan. i've seen some of their detailing work on my friends honda.....they seemed to have done a kickass job...

they say it'll take six hours to complete.....yeah right. 3 hours tops, then 3 hours driving around with it maybe ;-)
