I had Todd Helme (Tropical Detailing) detail my car last week. All I can say is, "truly amazing!" The car looks fantastic. Thanks again Todd.
I hear great things about Todd. Have not used him so I cannot give you personal experience. I personally have used Eddie Fiuza since 2000 for all my details for my personal cars and for the dealership when needed. He does amazing work. As a heads up if Todd is not available...Eddie Fiuza. Thankfully there is plenty of business for great detailers down here. Between Todd and Edde you have two of the very best at their game.
Todd is from the Orlando area and he actually makes the occasional trip down this way. His screen name is TropicalDetail, send him a PM and set something up.
Todd is a master at his work, he did a great job on my car. Highly recommended. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wow. I'm sold. I take pretty good care of my car on my own, but nothing beats a professional job once a year (or so). Excuse me, guys. I have a phone call to make.....
this thread provided the motivation for me to give Eddie a call. Seems like a great guy on the phone. He's going to detail up my Rover on Monday. I'll pass along results.
Hey guys thanks for all the kind words/compliments/etc... Ken and Steve thank you for the opportunity. Here is a link to a thread detailing the work done on these awesome machines as well as a Ferrari Boxer. Thank you again http://www.autopia.org/forum/pro-details-before-after/113739-3-ferrari-corrections-2-f430-s-one-real-bad-orginal-paint-boxer.html
I tried several times to reach Tropical Detailing, and got a message that the number was disconnected. I am up North and getting ready to bring my 575 to Florida for the winter and want to have it detailed once it arrives. Any suggestions?
Contact info is at: www.belladetailing.com I have mine scheduled in for right after the holidays. Thanks Todd!!
I'm on Autopia quite a bit and Todd is always posting his work there. I can honestly say that he has to be one of the most skilled detailers on this continent. Coming from a fellow professional detailer, he's that good folks!
Todd prepped my BBui for Cavallino last year, and he has detailed a number of my other cars. He is an expert and a profesional, as well as a helluva nice guy. He loves the work and loves the cars. 5-star recommendation. As an aside, I think it is unfair to ask him to price one of his jobs prior to its completion. Like a good restoration, you have to talk about what your goals are with the restorer, then trust their judgement and repuation for excellence. Forza, David
Todd fixed the scratch I put in the engine lid of my F430. It was killing me, but Todd told me to be patient and did not try to rush the work into one visit. The second time he came to complete the job was late in the evening and he was really feeling poorly. But he did an excellent job. The best result given the situation, only I can probably now find where the damage was. Thank you again Todd for your excellent work!!!! David
As a fellow professional detailer, I can also say without hesitation that Todd is one of the best there is. I have seen his work, and I have dealt with some of his customers that have moved to Ohio where I am. It's always the same story...he's incredibly talented at what he does, and is a true inspiration to the rest of the professional detailing community.
I went to see Todd with my '86 328 just before I left for sea... yes, I am writing from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean... technology is good. I was not only impressed with his knowledge and skill - he did a quick demo on my left front quarter panel - but also Todd has a passion and desire to not only be the best himself, but to give your car better attention than you can find anywhere else. Be prepared to treat your car better than you have been once he is done with it. I get back from sea on Jan 30, and have reserved the week of 2 Feb....
