If you can spare a weekend day or two, you'll get a lot better results than any detail place if you're willing to do it yourself. Get a clay bar (which detail shops *seldom if ever* use), some polish and polymer wax, add some elbow grease and you've just saved yourself $200 and ended up with superior results.

Theres a place in Tower Center (the mall where the Calgary Tower is) that does a really good job. Its called Sunshine Car Wash I think. Give him a call, he always has really nice cars in there.

Has anyone ever used scratch removers (ie Quixx, MOthers etc)? How do they work?

Any recommendations from anyone on car detailing (both interior and exterior) without breaking the bank?
Thanks!

Not sure what you consider breaking the bank, but I have used Detailz before and they were fantastic.

The new goggles also do nothing.

What were their prices? Kind of weird that they list upgrade prices on their site but not actual package prices, not listing prices is usually a red flag for me.

I'm thinking of getting my car a paint correction (there are lots of minor swirls from when I bought it) and a ceramic coating, lots of variation in pricing in that so not sure what a reasonable amount is.

I will say they did an amazing job. My suv was a disaster when I dropped it off.

I was really happy with Reflections (located in parking garages of a few buildings downtown, staff migrate between locations depending on the day).

Doctor Detail Auto Salon. All their packages are $100 off the base price listed on the site when you go to book an appointment. I've gone to them two years in a row now, they've done an excellent job both times.
Samples of their work:

I went to Personal Touch Car Care. They were great. I believe they also do lots of classic / show room cars. Also do regular vehicles like mine.

It's sweet!
A buddy used to have a Vanquish, but the Vantage looks nicer, IMO.

Thanks! Mine is a 2012.
Was your buddy’s the ‘classic’ Vanquish (Die Another Day style) or the one produced after 2013?
