I'd like to recommend a great Detail Shop in North Jersey.

ShowTime Auto Spa

I just got my car back from them and it looks beautiful. They have over 7 years of experience detailing cars.

They are located in Paramus - by the Paramus Park Mall off of rt. 17.

Call them up at 201.225.1200 and speak to John or Tom. If you tell them that Ron sent you, they'll be sure to charge you more. ;)

I'll post pics of their work on my car tomorrow since it's raining right now.

-Ron

what did you get done, ron? did they wax the outside with a washing or just focus on the interior. Id like to know of a place that does a really good hand washing and waxing and that can do the interior at the same time. im right there as well

-Richard

hand wash
cleaner
wax

interior vacuumed
interior shampoo
leather cleaned and conditioned

it's amazing, my car has actually changed color - it's brighter then before, like when it was new! :)

I am one very satisfied customer. Now I need to take some pics of my car and post them.

Pics please!

I took a pair of pics today...after the rain and with all the leaves blowing around. :rolleyes:

The car looks great, it's got a very nice blue tone to it now as it did when I bought the car new. :) I wish I did this earlier!!!

I'll post them when I get home.

:D :D I tried them yesterday and I am very satisfied client and I will be a regular. MY car looks AWESOME. Now all I need is to get my digital camera back from my bro to post some pics. Their professionalism and attention to detail was surprising. Not to many shops like this one.

sweet - now get that camera and post some pics!

price?

100 beans. Which I consider negligible for the work performed.

Trying to get the camera but no dice DAMM. :mad:

they will also clay your car if you need it too. I'm going back in the spring to have that done, my paint was butter smooth but it was neglected under a tree for almost a year for the last time I was in africa.

i will be seeing them in the spring:D .

glad you're happy man, I wouldn't have recommended them if they weren't as good as I said!

-Ron

Gonna check em out soon, any other recommendation as far as auto detailing shops?

kewl, Im going to check them out soon,...how long did u wait? does the place get packed? do i call for an appointment, or just go there?

call them up for an appointment, drop off the car in the morning. they'll let you know how long.

if you want to bum around, that's fine or they can drop you off at the mall which is literally 1 mile from them.

-Ron

spring time is coming. ;)

Sounds interesting, my car definately needs a good wash.

these guys do good work and I'll be sure to visit them again when I get back. :

Tell'em I sent ya

Will do:)

Are these guys still open? If not, any other recommendations?

Wow! Their right down the road from me!
When I'm done with my 5speed swap, I'll bring it there to have the entire exterior works!
Anybody else know if their around?

I hope they're still around. But when I try to call the number listed at the top of this thread, I get a recording saying could not complete call. I'm sure I dialed the right number. Where are they located?

Paramus I belive.
Near the small "mall" which is by the home depot, which if I remember right, is near the BIG chevy dealership.

I believe they went out of business a few years ago.

ARG! Thats no good! I wanted to go there after my swap was done.
Speaking of which.. IM about at the end of the rope on my swap.. Im stuck gettin the diff off.. I cant break any of those damn torx bolts loose so I tried cutting them off and the half shafts still aint budgin.. :eyecrazy I <i>might</a>break down, and grab my ankles on this one and find a place to bring it in. This is upsetting :(

wd40 and a nice long breaker bar should do the trick.

Hey,

I can't help with the bolts, but I found that there's a place called Celebrity Auto Spa. I think it's the old Show Time Auto Spa. Celebr. is at 620 Winters Ave, Paramus - right next to Paramus Mall: (201) 265-9274. I'm gonna check it out. Lookin' for a reasonalbly-priced place to clean-up my car... I'll let you know.

hey ron- met you at the meet this past friday (avus blue m3).

those guys did a pretty good job. just wanted to let you know that if you're willing to shell out $150 chuck and i might be able to help you out even further with your cars paint.

a great detail can be measured by the depth or reflection in the paint. here's just a sample of what we can do with a car. (i know you all saw my car at the meet, but here it is with the sun out).

if they are indeed back, that'd be great news!

Mike, thanks for the offer but these fellas were doing a bang-out job for a bit cheaper. ;)
