I'm sure not too many people around here live in Mission Viejo so it'd be better to ask around your city.

a good car wash and detail is a 7 hour + process most of the time ( it took me 20 hours my first time with a DA). So if they are just going to take 2 hours to wash, buff, wax your car I would pass.

Outa curiousity - you think it's worth doing that 20 hour procedure everytime? (I'm not trying to troll)

I spent probably 3 hours doing a wash & wax with the 3stage meguiar's system and it looked really nice... for about a week and a half :(

oh no I dont think you should do 20 hours ever time. The thing is You polish and then you maintain the look. With washes every week and you can go even deeper and use quick detailer every time to drive to wipe the dirty spots down. What products are in the 3 stage system you used? I think you basically covered up all the imperfections and with weather it uncovered them.I polished my car last Wed-thus and still scratch free and it should stay that way for along time. but even then it should of lasted a bit longer because the wax should of been on there for at least a 2 + months


But if your going to pay someone they do it right. Because for some carwash soap and wax which is sub 30 bucks you can get the same look as paying someone 100+ to basically do the same thing. I am more of a DIY'er so thats just me. many people might just pay the person regardless because they dont want to do the work.

Any how if the OP just wants a a simple Wash/vacuum then virtually any car wash place will be fine.
