I am interested in seeing how many BRZ/FR-S owners would like to have their cars detailed in Portland/Vancouver area.
I recently drove up to Puyallup WA to get a winter and beyond protection detail job done by Reflective Auto Detailing, from a guy named John. Driving up there and killing 3 ~ 5 hours of time was a drag, but he did a superb job on my SWP BRZ. I can only describe it as having "rain-X on steroids" on the body, and water rolls off pretty nicely. Also I had some scuff marks on the right bumper when I scraped against a black pole (haha..) but he was able to buff that out as well. I have the 3M protective film on my car, but he was able to detail that as well. My car definitely has a more deep shine to it. The coating is said to last over 1 year. He is willing to travel down to Portland OR, and if everything works out, rent out Darren's shop in SE Portland (man cave) for a weekend to detail as many FR-S/BRZ's as time allows. It will take about 3hours per car, and his price will be $350 which is 50% off the asking price on his website. He is also doing the interior protection as well. I am going to have my 2012 ML350 MB detailed when he comes here, and another owner of an SWP BRZ is going to get detailed as well. Please let me know on this post if you will be interested in the group detail deal. It will be a weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) so let me know what weekend works the best for everyone. I know the pic does not do justice with my camera phone, but this is after pressure washed it 1 week after the detail: ![]() Here is his FB page, he's got some videos/comparison pics to see his work and the winter beyond protection sealant at work. http://www.facebook.com/reflectiveauto.detailing Update 3/11: Here are the time slots available. Slots open are: 3/16 Saturday 1. 10:00AM - Booked 2. 1:30PM 3. 5:00PM 3/17 Sunday 1. 9:00AM 2. 12:30PM 3. 4:00PM - Booked

Keep me in the loop on this as if he comes to PDX I may want that nano protection spray stuff. There's too many cool things to buy for my car though! Do I do more performance or more cosmetic! Too tough to decide!

Update 3/11:
John the detailer is available to drive down this weekend, 3/16 and 3/17 for the detail! The information on the first post has not changed. This will be held at DarrenDriven's man cave shop in SE Portland. Address: 1535 southeast 80th avenue Portland OR. John is asking if you can just remove stuff out of the interior and keep valuables inside the glove box or take them with you. This will save him time to focus on the detailing the interior/exterior. Recent BRZ he did: ![]() ![]() I will have the time slots on the first post. If you have any questions, you can call me directly at 503-544-8105, PM me, FB me what ever works for ya.
