Car Collectors and Exhibitors

As we approach Car collector season each year, exhibitions ask that your car be detailed and covered in preparation for their show.  Upon arrival, you will want to have the proper supplies to “Final Touch” your car in show quality condition.

 The following is a listing of referred detailers from some of current and past exhibitors.  The list is not a recommendation from Monterey Motor Sports or The Concours at Pasadera.

Note:  My personal rating of these providers:  1-10, 10 being highest.  Do your due diligence and get your appointment booked as soon as possible as these providers will be booked heavily going into special events
