Thanks,

Spectrum Collision & Detail

They are owned by Shelly BMW. I took My Audi Allroad to them for collision work and I had them detail my Touareg prior to getting the X5. I am going to see them soon about detail work myself. 949-597-8200.

If you go to an independent detailer, you'll get a better job than what you'll get from a body shop. In a body shop, the polisher/detailer is usually the least experienced, lowest paid person on the staff. Go to a pro detailer. These guys stay up on new products, tools, and techiques.

Check out Richard Lin aka OctaneGuy. Here's a picture of a X5 that he detailed.



He runs a mobile shop and services customers in LA, Orange, and Ventura county. Contact information is here: http://littlemini.us/showcar/contact.asp

Another well-known detailer is Joe Fernandez of Superior Shine. He's based out of the San Gabriel Valley. He might charge a few extra bucks to drive into the OC, but he's really good, so you pay for what you get. http://www.superiorshine.com/

twin X5s

Thanks, I'll check him out....there are a lot of people what will do the job but it really needs to be done right.
My son has an M5 and had a guy do his car but he is away at collage.
BTW your X5 looks like mine except I have different wheels....

Many thanks,

Thanks for the tip,

I called them today and they sound OK plus the price is right...They will detail my X5 for $220.00 that includes engine, interior and clay and wax.My car has always been hand washed so should come out OK. So with your recommendation I think I'll give them a try.
