Dave the Detailer is the man to call when your car is in need of a deep clean, or just a fresh look! Very professional service with serious attention to detail. Came to my house and walked through the car with me and asked if I had any special requests, in which he fixed all my needs (headlights & interior marks) with no problem! Older Mercedes came out looking brand new again... thank you Dave!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dave the owner is amazing. I saw a car he detailed for Clifton Mercedes in El Cajon, CA, and couldn't believe how fabulous the Mercedes looked.
I contacted Dave during the 4th of July weekend and he was quick to respond and very helpful at scheduling the work as soon as possible. He contacted me to confirm the appointment the day before he would be doing the detailing and he provided me with information regarding when he would arrive at my office.
Dave just left my office after detailing my car and despite my being extremely busy with work, I had to take the time to write

Like other reviews, if we could give Dave the Detailer more than 5 stars, we would!
My car is nearly 20 years old and had some major paint issues. My car after Dave got done with it looks like new - really. I've already had someone want to buy it. He arranged and managed getting the parts that needed it fixed, prepped, and painted, and headlights polished, then he detailed to the max the rest of the car, inside and out. We are very happy with the work and service, and got a better price, to do more, than we got from Maaco. We're now having him do the same thing to our other car

I had David come out to Ramona to detail my BMW that had terrible oxidation. Honestly I could not believe this car could be restored. But he made it happen. Dave is very knowledgable and takes his time to restore the car. He does amazing work!! My car looks like a new car again! He is super friendly and prompt too. He gets 10 stars!!!

Look no further - you have found the right detailer! Dave was amazing. My truck has been to Burning Man and goes off-roading in the desert at least once a month in the winter for the 5 years I've owned her - and I beat the crap out of her out there. Dave made her look brand new! There was dirt in places that normal people can't get too - except for Dave. Dave got to it! Even my engine looks like it's from the showroom floor. Dave was totally reasonably priced - I would have paid double what he charged me. And such a nice guy to top it all off. Seriously look no further

I was originally going to get my truck detailed to prepare it for sale but after gazing upon it after Dave detailed it im seriously reconsidering. Its never looked so good. He showed up right on time, was entirely self sufficient, and didnt rush through anything. He spent nearly 6 hours on the vehicle. I live near the beach and the truck gets beat up but with the coating he hand buffed onto it its resisting the elements. He also buffed out some scratches well enough for them to be considered repaired. Highly recommended, a very professional and simple service.

Believe all the great praise you read about Dave. He has detailed my car twice now... once when we lived in OB & today in Hillcrest. I had rust on my fender & hood from a drip in the garage of our building... that is now gone. He does a fantastic job, takes pride in his work, & has the most reasonable prices. Bookmark his site because once you use his service, you will never need another detailer. And Dave always gives you service with a smile!

Dave is the absolute best detailer in San Diego. I have an '86 Mustang that was so oxidized no one would touch it." Then came Dave" to my house and made it look showroom new! A few months ago, I was getting my Toyota 4Runner washed at my usual place and noticed they had a detail special, so I went for it. What a disaster! What they should have said was "car wax", as it definitely wasn't a detail. Then I called Dave. When he was finished, my car looked brand new, inside and out! All the scratches were removed, and the finish is smooth as glass. I couldn&apos

If I could give Dave more than 5 stars I would! I am so stunned and pleased. He did the most beautiful job and clearly takes great pride in his work. Our truck looks brand new! Super professional and friendly. Really reasonable and he earns every penny. I cant wait to get my other car detailed now! I would recommend him in a second.

Dave is amazing and the work he did on my car was absolutely amazing!!! It was so fun and convenient that he was able to come to me and clean my car inside and out with absolute attention to detail and lasting results. It seriously seemed like almost two months before I really noticed that anything really began to settle onto the car. I highly recommend Dave and the great care he takes in doing a customized job awesomely done!

Very reasonable prices and did a way better job than some some car wash "detail" services. Every nook, cranny, knob, and cubby was clean and dust free, after pretty much living in our car for a two week road trip. Vinyl was not left greasy like some armorall products will do. Overall a friendly, professional service at a great price- what more could you ask for? I would recommend Dave to everyone wanting a clean car. And have already passed his number out to a few friends

Got a referral from Bumper Remedy for Dave and have to thank them.
Dave did a one step polish and wax and quickie interior leather conditioning for $160. Really, quite a good deal. It took him about 3 hours. The same work would have taken me 8.
He came over with a helper to my place and did all the work in a red zone, cul de sac.
I've paid a lot more for the same service from other places and now realize that they were rip-offs. My car has never looked better. When I park it, I have to keep looking back at it because it looks so good.
Dave does outstanding work, quickly and efficiently

I doubt I can expand on the stellar reviews Dave has gotten but I'll add my two cents anyway..
So I have a trusty 2000 Chevy S-10 that started it's career in Redlands, CA roaming the old citrus fields of my Dad's family. After a little wear and tear, and an inevitable downsizing, it happily made it's way to me to start it's journey, usually toting my surfboards and people's shtuff to their new places of residence. "Oh that's a long bed?! Perfect.." ;) .Great truck but the inside was nasty..
Long story short, I had it professionally cleaned when I got

Really... just incredible.
First off, he's a nice dude. Very easy going. He comes to you, and he is fully self contained.
With that being said, I have never seen a more meticulous detail job. Top to bottom, inside and out, just spotless. My truck even smells new again. Here's the crazy part: he worked on my truck for almost 5 HOURS. I was in the house doing some work, and I would stick my head out periodcally to see if he needed anything, and every time he would have some different apparatus out, detailing every last inch.
For all of this, inside and out, top to bottom- 5 HOURS worth
