    Looking for recommendations for a top-end shop to do paint correction and full ppf on my new Audi RS6. Also, what are the recommendations on the best film to use (x-pel, etc.). This will be for a daily driver and long term keeper.

    I take my cars to garage224. Evan and Michael are the owners and they do the work themselves. Their work and customer service is exemplary.

    Just got my car back from a buff and beyond in Cranbury NJ. Nick did an awesome job on my 430. While I was there he was just finishing up a beautiful 2020 600LT.

    I can vouch for Nick as well. He has done PPF, tinting, and ceramics on all our cars including my Pista, 458, Flying Spur, and our G wagons. He has a great team of guys that really take pride in their work.

    Enthusiasts Auto in Mamaroneck NY Fation is a very good guy and excellent at what he does. He offers all of the PPF brands and will steer you straight,
    All high end autos. Did a "track wrap" for my QV.
    BTW RS6 is a killer! had one for a weekend, what a blast to drive

    Eddie at Detailing Dynamics, and Fation at Enthusiast Detailers are my 2 go 2 places. Both of them to top notch work, not cheap, but if you want cheap, you get cheap.

    I am also looking for recommendations and currently trying to decide between Detailing Dynamics, LI Detailers and 631Coatings. I want to have my car done on Long Island. I have used Detailing Dynamics in the past but wouldn't be opposed to trying someplace new. Does anyone have any thoughts on the other 2 and whether the Detailing Dynamic price premium is worth it?

    See my comment above, if you're just shopping on price, don't expect DD quality. Not saying that the other 2 shops don't do quality work, just saying if you want the best, you have to pay for it. If it's not that important a vehicle and seams etc. don't bother you......................

    I use 631 for all of my cars - Ferraris, Porsches, Astons, etc
    Top Shelf!!!
    Super attention to detail, and amazing ppt work. At events, people cannot believe that the cars are in ppt - as compared to theirs...
    You want a custom job - from the paint correction - Devin is a master and spends a lot of time on details to the film - which you want custom - not just a computer plotter generating a premed film to be placed. You want the edges wrapped around each piece of body work - not stopping at an edge. Shops need to be clean so that due doesn't get under the film when placing. And you want guys with the skill and experience to remove emblems and lenses to wrap behind.
    Go see Carl - the owner and Devin. You can use my name - Vasilios - I can highly recommend the shop and all the services the provide. I have no affiliation other than being a customer and seeing others get taken advantage of and paying big money for average work.

    I’ve used LI Detailers multiple times and Andrew is great. He’s taken care of PPF and ceramic on my Ferrari and Porsche. I’ve also sent countless friends there and they have all been satisfied.

    Thanks so much for these replies. I was almost hoping some of the reviews would be negative, which would make my decision easier. As I mentioned, I have used Detailing Dynamics in the past and was happy. But they are charging 50% more than the other two. I’d be fine paying it if there was going to be an appreciable difference. Now I have 3 good choices. I know, everyone should have these first world problems.

    You also want to know how long someone has been doing film.
    You don't want someone who learned last week at a course in Miami ...
    You seem to be doing your homework -
