Suggestion on Car Wash and Detail spots.
Need some suggestions on where to go to get my car washed and detailed. Looking for something in the City or South Bay. Really wish not to go to some general place like AJ in San Jose but to somebody that can treat my car like their own.

I did try to search but i-club search function broken.

I know this isn't anywhere nearly close to where you'd like to find the service you are looking for but nearly all the Subaru cats in Sacramento area go to Detail Maniac for all their detailing needs. I highly recommend them and do outstanding work.

Detail maniac is worth the drive. I had them do some work on my car. Looked amazing after they were done with it.

Try Distinctiv Detailing, Johnny does great work. He does Opti-Coat 2.0 and pro.

I was looking into this place too. They're close to my work and seems to have excellent reviews in yelp. The great thing is they do general car wash. I actually really wanted to talk to someone about car care as week when I'm there.

However for details it looks like DetailAddict is the way to go.

Update on Supreme Detailworks.
I spoke with a friend who used them a couple of times... was not impressed. Apparently they are not allowed to use water on site due to recycling regulations.
Supreme has some sort of a steaming machine, but it does not really get the cars "wet" enough, so they end up with swirl marks.

In the meantime, my car is at AJ's this moring

Let me know how it goes with AJ. Seems like the general to-go spot for general car washes but Detail Addict seems to be the place to get my baby detailed.
