I spent several years in the automobile business and I've seen a number of portering services come…read moreand go, some were very good, many were average. At least one is very, very good.
This is the very, very good one.
Barbie has been doing this for years and with all that experience, knows where she could take shortcuts and get away with it. Some shops do that, but Barbie and her staff do not take any shortcuts. None. They do it all, and they do it right. Not many shops polish clear coat with clay, the preferred method. This one does, although exterior was not my issue on this trip.
Last Easter, I made a wonderful fruit salad with a thick, sweet sauce based on balsamic vinegar and red wine with lemon and sugar. Before I could get it safely to the family dinner party, the salad was knocked over and sticky, sweet, aromatic sauce poured out all over the driver's seat. (Luckily, I was not sitting in it at the time!) No doubt, the mess needed to be cleaned up. Can you imagine what that sweet sauce would smell like when exposed to sun baking? I certainly can. Eeeeyew!
Now, I don't have the professional equipment to do that job, and I started researching. This shop comes highly recommended on Yelp so I made an appointment. With great pleasure, I watched the magic happen as the driver's seat was thoroughly cleaned. You cannot believe how much dirt, besides the offending sauce, came out of that seat.
This is the best place to take your car whether you need fruit salad cleaned out of a seat or to have your entire car portered, inside and out. While I was waiting, the crew was working on an SUV that had a fruit smoothie spilled on the passenger seat. That's worse than a fruit salad! The crew had the seat out of the car so they could lift the carpeting and thoroughly remove every speck of fruit smoothie. I was suitably impressed. If it has wheels, CP will porter it. They recently finished a '39 Ford and a semi cab was being portered when I left.
I'll be back soon to have the entire car, inside and out, treated to Barbie's magic efforts. Take your vehicle, any kind, to Barbie. Just do it. You'll thank me afterward.
