Crystal mall car detailing?

Anyone has any experience getting your car detailed there? How are they quality wise? It's the one located in the underground parking lot.

Nothing is worth going in that hell hole of a parking lot.*

crystal mall actually does a pretty good job for car wash, but not sure about detail, wax etc.

Sorry for thread jack but when I go into metro I see signs for car wash

Anybody know where it is or if it's still there?

Never seen a car wash in there but maybe I just never explored the whole parking lot

Whenever I drive pass by them, I often see clean shiny cars after treatment. Now I'm just wondering if it stays that way after they leave etc, or if the wax or whatever products they use are reliable/good quality and do more goods than damage.

i'm going to go out on a limb and say the cars you've seen there are mostly newer cars? newer cars will always be shiny after a wash. it doesnt matter. it's only to the particular eye will swirls, holograms, etc be evident.

if you are looking for a real detail (paint correction, and the car subsequently looking very slick), i highly recommend Project Detail.

I recall driving by and seeing them use broom-style brushes.
