    Anyone know a good detailer in the Boca-Delray area. I was recommended to a guy but he wants $700 for my Z4 M Coupe BMW. I thought that was a little high, or am I out of touch?
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow, is that including paint correction? Todd Helme does awesome work and even though he is based in Orlando, I know he travels.

    He has different packages. I had him do an interior (Leatherique) and exterior detail and it didn't come close to your quote.

    Never had my car detailed down here in Florida, but my detailers back home in Michigan charge about 90$ an hour for a full out paint correction and that can take them anywhere from 15-40 plus hours depending how in depth they go.

    What level of detailing do you need/want?

    700 is not crazy depending on the level of workmanship.

    I have some connections down in that area.....Todd Helme is very good

    cheers,
    GREG

    The car is really in excellent condition with minor scratches. It has been garaged since new and waxed atleast twice a year. I do not need concours prep but the quote was for a job he said would take 8 hours.

    That's still too much. Todd worked on my car for over 6 hours and it was around half your quote.

    Todd Helme worked on your car for 6hrs and it cost you $350? I know todd rate is much more than 55/hr for paint polishing, you must have scored a deal with him.

    Cheers,

    I'm pretty sure his prices are listed on the website. He charged a flat fee and took his time with the details. Worth every penny.

    Todd Helm or Eddy Fiuza would be the only 2 to consider.

    I don't see a paint correction package for 350$ listed, which one did you go with?

    Cheers,
