Richard Lin's "Black Wow" formula is simply stunning. Better than all products I have tried from Adams Polishes, Chemical Brothers, Griot's Garage, etc. No pic this time, next time when I have "Black Wow" applied to my project car... pics with that review. read more

Richard is awesome at what he does. I did PPF and Ceramic coating for the Model Y. Friendly and upfront about his services and prices. Loved seeing the rain and water splash off the car. I reached out months / years later for additional maintenance and he still helped me out, so he's still willing to provide guidance and assistance when needed. Def repeating his services when I get a new car. read more

ABSOLUTELY A 5 STAR RATING! THIS PLACE IS A HIDDEN GEM! A few days ago, my parked Toyota Camry was hit in my work parking lot. I found a note left by another employee noting of the incident. OF COURSE, I was furious to find this after a long day at work, but I am fortunate that there was honesty in this ordeal. The damage to my car, at first sight, looked very major. Hence, considering this is still a new car to me. I was also worried that it will cost an arm and a leg for repairs. Moreso, the time I have to take to get this repaired. But this AMAZING DUO (Randy and Mae) made it happen. First, I called for an estimate. I did not get an immediate response, so I left a voice message. Within 15-30 minutes later, I receive a call from Richard. He requested I text him pictures of the car, but I asked if I could stop by because this place was close by. He was perfectly fine with that. I arranged to meet him at 130. My BIL and I arrived before this time, and we were able to get a quick estimate. THIS WENT NICE AND SMOOTH. We were able to cross path with such AMAZINGLY NICE and HONEST individuals. So, quote was given, and I wanted to get this repair done ASAP. I was given options, and I loved this. What made it even better was when it was ok that we come back later to get this done and the service to get done will only take 30 minutes. THIS WAS AWESOME TO HEAR!!! They put me at ease when I saw the finished work. It was like nothing ever happened. AND visiting this place DID NOT cost me an arm and a leg. Their pricing is very reasonable. All in all, my vehicle repair was done in less than 12 hrs. Richard and Mae are AWESOME. I would highly recommend this place. Their fast, efficient and friendly service is one of a kind. Thank you so much ShowCar Perfection! KEEP UP THE SUPERB WORK! read more

Richard is awesome! He's a true craftsman. Making sure the work is done right and always creating/finding better ways to do things. Best advice too! read more

I bought a pre owned 911 a few years ago. I found a CS-II badge in the door jamb. Another detailer told me that I'd "scored" because that badge was the mark of Showcar Perfection and Richard Lin. I arranged to bring the car over for an evaluation, since ceramic coating has about a 5 year life expectancy. Richard gave my car a "refresh" and wow, it came out beautiful. I work where there are ALOT of Porsches, but somehow I always seem to get complimented on the condition and appearance of my '12 911. It's nothing special, Carrara white over black, but Showcar Perfection's touch makes it stand out in a crowd. Since he detailed my 911, I've had him do two other cars. The work never disappoints! read more

As a clumsy driver, hitting the curb or scratching the car is nothing new to me, but THIS scratch was bad, so bad that I felt embarrassed driving it because obviously I hit a curb in the most stupid way. I called Richard and he was able to arrange the repair soon after, it was done very quickly and very nicely, and the price is very reasonable too! I highly recommend bringing your car to ShowCar Perfection! read more

Richard Lin is the ultimate professional in his field!!! I've never been more impressed with the detective work he and his wife and team did on my 2016 Tahoe. It came out looking BETTER than it ever did coming straight from the factory.... His shop is neat, clean and his work is timely and reasonably priced for the services he provides !!! Absolutely the best read more

Richard is the best out there and you can trust his service and expertise when it comes to taking care of your car. I had my brand New 2024 Chevy 2500HD Truck detailed and CS-II applied and looks so good. Great pricing and worth the investment. If your looking for quality work you found the right place. I couldn't be happier with the results and would recommend them to anyone! read more

A lucky find and a good experience. Richard was helpful, communicative and his services were reasonably priced. For an older car, he didn't try to overdo anything, and the result hit the sweet spot for a good looking and nice-to-your-wallet repair. Will definitely keep Richard's contact for any future needs. read more

I picked up my 2016 Tesla Model S at the factory in March of 2016. As soon as I returned to Orange County I had Showcar Perfection polish it and apply their CS II ceramic coating. Since then I have never had the car waxed, only light washes. I take it in once a year so Richard Lin (company owner) can touch up the coating if necessary. I am truly amazed at how great my car looks after 5 1/2 years. Check out the attached current picture. In addition to doing brand new cars like I did, he can bring new luster to older cars. read more

Great service and honest prices. Richard's attention to detail and workmanship is second to none. Highly recommended

If you're going to gamble you have better odds in Vegas. While at one point Richard was a nice guy. I'll say he bit more than he can chew when it got to my car. I was patient with him and gave him all the time he needed. The 1st time he kept my car for two weeks. What he did was work on other cars and the last moment did a rush job on my car with Xkote, and it still shows. He did say it was bad and he wants to fix it. I said no problem. I dropped off the car for another week only to be told he didn't do what he originally said he was going to and did a half ass buff job. On top of it he buffed an area to the point it burned right through the paint. He handled that OK. And paid for it to get painted. I told him my car still has streak marks and drip marks from his poor attempt of the Xkote application. I have it all over my windshield, tail lights, and headlights. In edition I had some chrome delete on my door handles and windows. He left severe tape marks on them. When I offered to let him fix it the third time he pretty much called me names and just as he does with every other customer he doesn't like. Post crap about them on his FB page. So he went and wrote about me being a &#@ customer. I responded identifying that it was me he called names and he bit off more than he could chew. Look at my pictures and tell me if you are willing to gamble..? Half of his reviews here are his friends. Save your money and get a pro detailing company to do a polish /clay/wax/ nano tech coating at your house and for ¼ of the cost. If the pictures from my car aren't a good indication.. His response is that my car is shinier. Well I could have gotten a good detail job instead of a shiny car with orange peal and lines all over the car. What I'm most upset at is how he handed the situation so poorly. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS. read more

I was very lucky to stumble upon an auto shop run by genuinely good people. From the moment I called I could tell that the customer service was going to be exceptional. I brought my car in, Richard took a look at it and fixed it for me right away. He could have up-charged me like another shop might, but he didn't. He just genuinely wanted to help me. If you want the best service and a trustworthy shop, ShowCar is the way to go! read more

Getting my car painted because of this service from last year. Won't be back here again. Took advantage of good pay for a bad job. Paid $1000 for a polish and left for days. Job was done 1/2 completed. Definitely not a 5 star place which why the only reason why I chose them. They are average at best. read more

I've spent months shop-hoping all over So. Cal looking for 1. Someone honest, who I felt wasn't going to pull one over on me 2. A shop I felt was capable of providing the care and service I felt necessary. I made an appt, met Mrs. Lin first and then Mr. Lin rolls out; shakes my hand, and goes silent for like 5 minutes as he inspects the car from various line and light angles. I knew right then that my search (this was literally the 13th place I went to) was over. Fellas, this man is a professional in the most literal sense. He knew the intricacies involved with Aston Martin paint, understood what I needed from him, and explained how we could achieve that goal. Nobody out there conducted themselves the way Lin did and I left knowing that my favorite possession would be in the hands of a legit master. Having been jaded by a car service industry that spews garbage from head to toe, I was almost convinced such a place didn't exist. I love my car so hard, probably way more than I should, and if you feel the same way about yours, stop by and meet this guy. Having done even the slightest due diligence in this field, you'll know right away that we've come across a diamond in the rough with Lin. Hell yeah to us that we found him. A+. read more

It was with great reluctance mixed with excitement I took my beloved and treasured baby a BMW Z8 to ShowCar Perfection. I don't know why I had any trepidation as everyone gushed with praise. It was a bit like handing your baby to a baby sitter for the very first time. The reward of my trust in ShowCar Perfection was overwhelming. Never had my car looked better. It was new again. Swirles in the paint were gone. Inside and out it glowed new-ness. It was a ....show car! Thank you, thank you. Michael Payne read more

I bought my son a well used 2008 BMW recently. The car had been repainted in some areas and while it looked ok at 15' away, the paint was quite a mess up close. Scratched, swirled and dull. I left the car with Richard asking him to make it better but I didn't need it perfect - the paint is 14 years old after all. I returned 4 days later to a car I didn't recognize. Richard's process is too involved to explain, but his care, attention to detail and finished product speaks for itself. He's clearly at the top of his craft. I can't thank Richard and May enough for the amazing transformation they did on my son's car. They've made his first car something very, very special. read more

Due to my terrible luck, I had to park my car on the street for 1 day, the same one my neighbor decided to have their trees trimmed... Of course my car got sprayed with tree sap everywhere. When I tried to wash it off myself with no success, I was devastated. I thank my lucky stars that I found Richard. When he first looked at my car, he only quoted for maybe 3 to 4 hours of work. But as he started to work on it, he realized that it's much harder to get off, and it ended up taking him 2 whole days to just work on my car. He stood by his initial quote and did not ask for more money. His attention to detail and work ethic is the most impressive part of this whole experience. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who seeks perfection for their cars. read more

Great detailing! Came in to get my car ceramic coated..Richard explained thoroughly want he was going to do. He took his time and was very attentive to detail. Even steam cleaning my engine, that I didn't ask for he did...just because. The customer service that he showed was unparalleled. He made you feel comfortable. To be so knowledgeable in his craft made you have confidence in what he did. He had taken before and after pics so you could see the difference. Even before you drove away he was touching up spots that he had missed. A lot of businesses could use his customer service tools. You will be completely satisfied with your car! Highly highly recommended! read more

ShowCar Perfection - Great detailing! - Auto Detailing Near Me - Anaheim, California

There's a reason for all of the good reviews. I had Richard do a ton of work on my LC500. Over the course of a few days Richard and co. transformed a street parked car into a showcar, fresh off the assembly plant floor. I would gladly take my business back to his shop again. The car was preowned and was likely parked outdoors for its entire life. Paint wasn't in the best condition, yellowing dealership installed partial PPF, scratched trim pieces, filthy wheels from brake dust and grime. Richard worked with me to build a detailing regiment that would be best suited for how long I plan to keep the vehicle. No pressure, upfront pricing was a plus. He paint corrected, installed full front PPF, tinted the windows, and fully coated exterior including wheels and barrels. He updated and showed me pictures of the entire process as he was progressing. It really drives home the amount of work and care he puts into his services. read more

Richard did ceramic coating for my 2013 Explorer and our 2020 Lexus GS 350 and both turned out beautiful! My Explorer looks brand new! Richard took the time to explain how to keep our cars clean and wash and drug with a blower to maintain the treatments we purchased! No one and I repeat no one has taken the time to explain to an amateur like us, car detailer secrets and tricks. When we picked up our cars they were safe in his garage unlike another vendor who put our cars outside - not this vendor who is a class act and super nice guy! We highly recommend him and look forward to continue to work with him over the next several years to keep our cars looking amazing! read more

I had a drink explode in my car like a geyser, popping open and spraying the windshield, dashboard, all the mechanisms installed including the CD player, seats, ceiling, even reaching all the way into the back doors and seats. I was just leaving work and headed to an appointment, so I had to cancel. I stopped at 2 different carwash detailers and they were closed. I searched online and found Show Car Detailing. I called to make sure I didn't drive over for nothing. I got their voice mail, but then they called me back. I thought it was so nice to call me back even though I didn't leave a message. The kind gentleman that helped me even stayed after hours to complete the cleaning of my interior. I have a health condition that makes it difficult to do a lot of physical activity, so I appreciated his kindness and the work he did. read more

This is the first review I've written on Yelp for a business other than a restaurant. tl;dr: ShowCar Detailing is run by a true craftsman who saved the custom paint job on a car no one else was willing to touch, and at a very reasonable price. I have a 2002 PT Cruiser with a custom chameleon paint job that had begun to fog up. Car washes and even detailing could only restore the luster temporarily. I had taken the car to several paint specialists and was always told the same thing: The paint is ruined, and it can't be saved. Even though I'm not an expert, I knew that wasn't true. I had an upcoming visit to my family, and I looked on Yelp to see if I could find a nearby detailer who could make it look nice for the length of that visit at least. The name that Yelp presented me with was ShowCar Detailing, not far from my house, as it turned out. When I got there I met Richard, the man who owns the shop. I told him of my predicament, and how I basically wanted it to look nice one last time before I gave up and painted the whole car black. Well, Richard took a long look at my car and thought it was worth saving. He had me bring it into the shop and he ran some tests on it. He used a lot of different equipment and lighting on it, and finally marked off two test spots. He then worked his magic on it. When he was done, the spots were beautiful. But I had seen that before. Because I was short on time, I would have to return after the trip. I drove the car through the Arizona desert, and left it parked in the sun for three weeks. The spots that were worked on didn't fog up! They stayed clear. That sold me. I brought the car back as soon as I could. He had my car for nearly a week. Understand that for something this important, I wanted to give him all the time he needed. He used a number of different techniques on my car, tailoring the kinds of polishes and techniques to the different types of problem areas all over the car. When I got it back I was stunned! Not only had he restored the shine to the chameleon paint that others told me was gone forever, but even the factory black was blacker than I had remembered it. The two people who I showed the car to both agreed that it was a lot better looking even than when I first bought the car. 90% of ShowCar's business is fixing the damage done by other "detailers," and based not only on my car, but others I saw in the shop, I have no reason to doubt that number. The owner doesn't back down from a challenge. The price quoted to me was exactly what I paid, and considering he basically worked a miracle, the amount charged was incredibly low. In the end, he thanked me for letting him take a crack at saving it. I think ShowCar does a lot of what they do for the love of the game. The owner was also willing to give me free advice on what to do to maintain my paint job, and more importantly, what not to do. I'll be honest: If you drive a '96 Accord and just want it not to look dirty, this might not be the place to go, though they do offer a wash and wax service as well. But if you actually care about how your car's paint looks, and want it to look like it did when it was at the factory showroom, there is no other place you should go. I have taken my car to many detailers, and I have never encountered any place that genuinely cared so much about the quality of my car's paint. Everyone there treated me like a friend from the moment I walked in the door. I will definitely be going back to them to help me treat my car the way it should be treated. read more

I finally have my brand new car just the way I've always expected a new car to look like. I bought my car new from dealership about 8 months ago and noticed swirls/marrings all over! After a couple unsuccessful tries from the dealership to "detail" it, I gave up for a bit. Half a year later, I just wished I could enjoy my semi-new car, so I looked around willing to really invest again, and found Richard and his wife's company. I'm a happy gal. Besides the work, I don't think I could have got the same level of communication and knowledge they brought to me. My car lives outside, never knew how to wash it properly, and barely knew the etiquettes of paint care. Richard has gone above and beyond to teach me not once but twice how to care for my car. He even took me to one of his own cars and showed me the step by step process so I can physically do it on my own...and knowing my memory shortage sometimes, he was nice enough to email me what he taught me, per my request. (Keep in mind, he shows you the best ways based on your lifestyle--for me it's not a lot of time, overly cautious, and maybe a bit slacking). All the work and money I have invested in my new car, I now know I have to right tools and knowledge to keep forever! read more

Quality and communication here is incredible. Everything explained so clearly and honestly. Not the cheapest place in town, but if you want amazing quality and service, Richard and his team are who you should have working on your car.

When was the last time you were amazed by something? No matter what it was, remember that feeling? That sensation? Your eyes spontaneously widening and your mouth hanging open? If you don't recall that feeling, I know the perfect place to reacquaint with it: ShowCar Perfection. Bring your vehicle to Richard and Gillian at ShowCar Perfection, in whatever state the car is in, walk away for a few days and return to find that feeling of amazement. In most cases you simply won't believe your eyes. This level of vehicle aesthetic maintenance is so far beyond anything a mere detail shop is capable of. There is no one-size-fits-all, so they will consult with you to determine the amount of "amazement" to fit your needs. Then the moment arrives when you return to ShowCar Perfection to retrieve your vehicle. For maximum effect, I highly recommend you wear a blindfold (don't drive there wearing it though...duh) and don't forget your face mask in these days of COVID. Feel your heart pound a bit faster as the "reveal" anticipation builds. Know that, though it's the same vehicle, it has never looked the same as it does now. THAT is the moment of amazement only offered by an expert in all things vehicle appearance. THAT is what you'll receive at ShowCar Perfection. That feeling is waiting for you, so don't hesitate. Let ShowCar Perfection take your ride, no matter how many wheels, to its highest level aesthetic. read more

My car had many existing issues and Richard made sure it was done right it Came out amazing. He always kept me informed through out the process and kept me updated with Pictures.

Not many people can perform miracles; miracles in a sense where a sickness is healed, a broken bone made unbroken, or more money in my already empty bank account. But Richard Lin and his staff are different. You see? They have the magic touch. When a car that is in need of a detail comes in, they can lay their hands on it and within a day it can come out looking like new. Now results may vary depending on how ugly your car is, but let me tell you my story....As my car was uuuuuuuugly. Before having heard of Showcar Detailing, my car(aw11 mr2) at one time was really great looking. Not the best in terms of paint but good enough. But I ran into some motor issues with my car, the car soon became neglected by the ones working on it. And soon enough there were more imperfections on the car than a hot model in an audition. I started losing interest in the car, it was ugly, I had the motor rebuilt by a professional but that wasn't enough to make me fall in love again. Even though on the inside the car was the same, but on the outside it had let itself go....well more like I had let it go. I met Richard Lin on the MR2 group one day when I had posted a video of myself taking a business card off of my car window. What was that business card? A junker! Someone who will give you no more than $300 for you to sell your car to them so that they make have it dissected, sold for parts, then ultimately crushed. I knew that it looked bad but was it that terrible that someone would want to leave their card like that? So Richard invited me to come over and yes, I was very optimistic about the offer, because honestly I felt that the only way to bring it back to its former glory was a new paint job. But Richard insisted that he could save it, just so as long as it had some fight left in it and a bit of bite in the paint. After arriving to his business we took some before pictures and he started the inspection. It was around 9am at this time and that day was already starting to warm up. After performing some tests and taking measurement readings of the paint thickness on the car, he concluded that even though some spots were low that we could cut into and bring back out the shine. So we started, we washed, claybar'd, wet-sanded and polished every part of the car. Richard went the extra mile by taking car of the trim and even polishing the lights. I didn't even know that the lights needed it but that's the level of detail that he puts into his work. We finished around 9pm so it was a long day with two people working on a small little car; and if you figured that with two people that a job like this would take just a couple of hours then you are out of your mind. I know I stated that Richard is able to perform miracles but he does so in time. The miracle he had shown me took time as he wanted to reveal the magic and beauty of the car little by little. Making me fall in love with the car all over again, and which I did. That's the miracle that he and his team were able to perform. Any car enthusiast will understand what I'm talking about and if you are reading this and have gone to Richard, I'm sure that you are sharing the same experience with this review. It's one thing to buy a new car, but it's a whole other feeling when you can breathe new life into an old car. My mr2 now looks wonderful and even better than when I first picked it up. What Richard and his team were able to do for me was a wondrous thing and an experience that I'll never forget. I highly recommend this detailing business if you value your car and it gives you feelings of joy. Make your car look great before you take it out for a drive this weekend. Bring it to Richard, he'll doll it up for you and get it looking pretty. Every time I walk away now, I always turn back to look at the car to say, "see you soon." Anxiously awaiting for the next time I get to drive it. What a miracle.... read more
