Jake with his Karate Kid wax-on-wax-off movement!

Well I dont know if he really does that but I thought it was funny cuz he does martial arts.

Jake's the only person that details my car & it has been all very good, he takes real good car of her & makes sure the customer is happy!

If you own a MY2000 and have never gotten it detailed, you almost certainly have swirling. Look at it carefully under the sun, from all angles...

Anyway, the two Bay Area detailing guys are Aaron (espelirS2k) and Jake (ushjt). You can't go wrong with either one
That's true statement...

Please don't bring your vehicles to AJ Auto Detailing, they don't do a good job. Had numerous clients coming to me to fix their work, added swirls, hazing, buffer trails, etc. Get it right the first time and bring your vehicles to Aaron or I.

I do my own work, but I use them once in a while for interior work/cleaning. I've never had any problems with them.

Good Yelp ratings too.

They're good for just a wash, but I wouldn't go to them for a full on detail. I had them detail one of my cars and I was MEH about it when I went to go pick it up. The swirls come back after a wash and after talking to Jake about it, they use fillers instead of actually polishing the swirls out.

For a quick wash, they're not bad, but Jake is nearby so you might as well take it to Jake LOL.

They get good reviews cause they're detailed and they clean every nook and cranny. Compared to most other places that kind of just half ass it, this place is top notch when you compare the level of detail in cleaning. Whether they do a good job DETAILING, meh not so much. In a pinch if Jake is busy and I need a wash bad, i'll take it to AJ's, but won't do more than just a regular wash on the exterior and vacuum in the interior. No more details after that one time I tried them. Black cars show EVERYTHING and I was still able to see the swirls on the car when I went to go pick it up. If I didn't need it back for an occasion, I would have left it there and told them to re-do it, but I didn't have time for that.. Lesson learned. YMMV.
