Detail Shops in the D/FW area

Does anybody know of a really good Detail shop in the D/FW area. I want to get my car waxed/clay barred, and the inside cleaned as well.

Last time i had it done on my previous car, i paid $100 for a pretty good job. If you know of a place that can do it for the same amount or less, and is really good... then let me know.

THANKS!!!

Dude, Brite Zone on Bryant Irvin in South Ft worth will do the inside and out side for $30, If you want the wax done it is extra but they do an awesome job.

Yeah south of 20, on the right after the dealerships, if you get to Oakmont you just pasted it. They do the interior great, the blow out all the crevices with compressed air and condition the dash, lokks brand new when their done.

You said you wanted it claybarred. I highly doubt they are doing a claybar for 30 bucks. Just sealing in all the contamints under the wax if your 8 hasn't been claybarred previously.

Alot of other brands out there. Just make sure you have plenty of time to do it the day you pick and don't drop the bar. Make it in the shape of a small pancake and use plenty of the provided lube.

Thanks for the info. I will call that place in Ft Worth and see if they claybar/wax as well, and how much it would be. That is a drive but i have to go to ft worth once a month anyways, so it should be ok.

Anybody know of any other places that have done a good job for you?

so i just had it thoroughly cleaned, but not waxed/claybarred yet...

only advice. If you go to the Blue Planet in Dallas, do not select the "new car fragrance" unless u enjoy the stank of 80 gallons of lysol.
