WOW! Rich went above and beyond expectations. His prices are extremely fair. He quoted me a price, came out to my place, estimates about an hour for the job.. only to get my seats cleaned. 3 HOURS LATER my car looked like a different vehicle. There's a reason he has nothing but 5 stars, and he deserves it. I will be keeping my business with Rich for any detailing needs I have in the future. Do yourself a favor and book your appointment with Rich..nobody has regretted it so far... read more

Akamai Detailing - After pics coming soon - Auto Detailing Near Me

I called Rich on 4/11/2020 to see if he was able to detail my 2017 Toyota Tacoma and he said he'll be able to do it the very next day. He showed up on time at my house and he did an excellent job detailing my Toyota Tacoma. I was so impressed that I asked him if he was able to detail my garage Queen a 1957 VW Karmann Ghia. As you can see by the pictures, both cars came out beautiful. I know it's tough right now with this Covid 19 epidemic but if you need to take care of your car I would highly recommend calling Rich at Akamai Detailing. Mahalo Rich for doing such a great job on my cars. read more

When he did my girlfriends car he got majority of the faded paint spots and staring in the carpet. But when it came to the top of the roof it's like he didn't try to take it off when i came after to spay and wipe off the grime that was there.. read more

Two days before we were scheduled to ship my husbands truck, our scheduled detailer called to say he had broken his hand the night before! In a rush I called Rich and he was able to fit us in the next morning. He explained what he would need to do to prepare the truck to pass inspection and quoted us a very reasonable price. He was on time and very friendly. He worked all morning to make our Ford Raptor as spotless as the day it came off the lot. The vehicle inspector told us he couldn't find a single thing on the truck! The outside, inside, and engine were spotless. Rich even followed up the next day to make sure that things had gone smoothly. I would recommend Rich for any detailing services but especially for shipping vehicles read more

Akamai Detailing - Auto Detailing Near Me

After having seen the results of Rich's detailing work on my car, I had him come back the next weekend to detail my wife's car. He has an attention to detail that surpasses most car detailers that I've tried in my time both on island and on the mainland. I highly recommend him. He is always on time, hard-working, and approachable with any issues you have with the car. I am keeping my business with Rich, hands down. read more

Rich was absolutely amazing! I had hard water spots from a sprinkler system my landlord had recently installed. They actually got to the point where they etched on to the paint and glass and Rich was able to get them out after many failed efforts on my part. So glad I decided to contact him and have him work on my car. Mahalo Rich! read more

I was selling my Tacoma truck and after communication and scheduling delays with another company, I texted Rich. He responded and was able to fit me in the next day to a cancelled appointment. He was on time and provided me with an exceptional price that included everything I needed to prepare my truck for sale - and more. He has passion for his work and takes pride in his results. Its as if he was detailing his own car. I would recommend Rich to anyone needing to make your car as good as new. Especially for those preparing your car for sale. He will bring out the true value for your benefit - and the person buying your vehicle. read more

Rich came over and detailed the inside and outside of my Ford Ranger and made that 14 year old truck look brand new! He did an amazing job and I was speechless. I put my truck up for sale on Craigslist later that night and got it sold after I got home from work the next day, in less that 10 hours. Mahalo, Rich for your outstanding work and attention to fine detail! read more

Jake is a miracle worker. He put in some serious time on my car (a 2010 black Camaro) and completely rejuvenated my paint job. He took up some significant water spotting and car wash marking and restored it to new condition. I could not be happier with the quality of his work, and he is extremely knowledgable about products he uses. He didn't try to jerk me around and up-sell me into a higher-priced plan. We picked one based on my needs. Additionally, he has local military base access and will come to your work and detail right there in the lot. Could not possibly be happier with the level of service, overall outcome and convenience. I would highly recommend Jake to anyone on Oahu, looking to get their car (and keep it) in showroom condition. read more

I was looking around for someone to detail my car before trading it in for a new one. I had a black GMC Terrain with plenty of water spots. I couldn't afford to remove all water spots from the car, but we agreed on removing them from a specific area and my gosh! It looked great! Rich almost made me want to keep my car...almost. I actually received the maximum trade amount for the car. Thank you so much Rich!! read more

I found Jake of Akamai Detailing on a google search. After visiting his website which was very professional and informative, I decided that I would give him a call. Jake answered his phone and explained his packages to me. Within a few days I had him come to detail my brand new 2012 Infiniti G25. I went with a full exterior/interior package. I can't describe how well of a job he did, so here's a picture of his work to show you the pride he takes in his business. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/p206x206/423580_10151063171502339_994441437_n.jpg Now when I drive my car, it feels so much better. There is no way I could have done this kind of detail myself, or at a car wash. I notice people turn their heads in the parking lots when my G25 is parked. Because Jake did such an amazing job and has such a professional demeanor, I signed up for his monthly maintenance plan which entitles me to 4 visits throughout the year so that my car can stay immaculate as when I first bought it. I would recommend Akamai Detailing to all of my friends and family. Thank you Jake and I look forward to seeing you at my next scheduled detail in December! -Alan read more

My honest review : Called Rich in the morning and returned my call later on that day to setup a appointment the next day at 8:00am. He did the detail within 4hours and he is mobile which was nice so he comes out to your place. I've asked about claying and he doesn't believe in it as it scratches the car, ceramic coating he told me that is the newest craze, overpriced and protects just like a regular synthetic sealant. As he was in the business why should I question his experience and knowledge about detailing. I've asked to remove water spots on my car and tells me that he can only take off the ones on the body and not on the glass even though I told him the it's only very light on the glass but still refused ( at least he applied sealant/wax on the glass). He cleaned and vacuumed the interior, clean the door jambs and trunk area after the whole detail was done. The experience at that time was good. Skip a couple days and I figured I take a once over on the car. I ran my hand across the top of the hood, roof top side of both bumpers as they are more likely to get contamination. As I knew, this car needed a clay. Left over wax was still on my glass, bumpers and the side of the car. Streaks on my inside of the glass are very noticeable. I have aftermarket wheels and upon close inspection he has left fine scratches on them. My rear bumper has also had fine scratches. This is the guy who raves about a wax/sealant that he only used this certain product. I went back and cleaned up all the imperfections and it was fine. Went to work early morning and raining, good let's test this wax/sealant that he likes so much. Drove in the rain, under the sun the whole day, came home, lightly was the car and tested this so called wax- not approved by me as it slickness is gone, he said the wax lasts 6mo but didn't even last a weekend. I don't think I'll be using his service again and really bummed considering all the good reviews he had. Again take this with a grain of salt as this is my personal experience. read more

I went to Akamai & they had Rich detail the outside of my suv. I've never seen my car look so good. I could tell he put a lot of pride into what he does. It has never looked that good, when I wash & wax it. I will being going to Rich in the future. My car looks new again. Mahalo Glenn P. read more

Rich is amazing at what he does. He details our cars and those of our family. Awesome job with aloha

Rich did an awesome job on my 2007 TSX, it looks brand new. All the hard water spots are gone and the paint shines. The time and detail he put into the car was outstanding. I Highly recommend him. read more

This company is busy but Rich came out anyway on a last notice as I needed my car cleaned to get shipped out tomorrow. He did a solid job and will call him again when my other car needs to get shipped out. Shout out to his brother Dave as he was the one that recommended Rich! read more

Never used mobile detailing before but Rich did a great job! I am really happy and my car looks wonderful. I called him yesterday and he was able to get my car detailed the next day. He gave me good advice and will be using him again! Thank you so much. read more

For high quality detailing call Rich of Akamai Detailing. He does a superb job and his prices are fair and competitive with other mobile auto detailers. Scheduled to have my Toyota Corolla detailed next. read more

So thankful he did an amazing job in my dads old Ford Ranger removing oxidation and bringing the roof and hood back to life. Crossing my fingers doesn't come back. Thank you! read more

I was more than pleased and astonished with the level of detail, and effort that Rich put into detailing my truck. My truck is. 2009 white F-150 and he made it look practically brand new! I will admit. I was a bit hard on it, hunting and 4wheeling and what not. but the workmanship and quality was more than I ever dreamed of and the more than reasonable price was definitely worth it. My only regret, that I am leaving this island to my next duty station and I am for sure I will not find an as good auto detailer back in the 48 states, America. BZ Rich!! Your brother will know what BZ means!! R/Brandon read more

Talk about attention to detail! Called first thing in the morning and had an appointment for two hours later. Both my vehicles are immaculate! And trust me when I say they needed cleaned! The jeep hadn't been professionally cleaned in 2 years and it's my husbands work jeep and my Jetta just came from a fun filled day at the beach and a mud run.... she needed lovens.... I will definitely recommend and use him again! Thank you One very satisfied customer read more

Rich did an awesome job. He took his time and my baby George (2004 350z) came out amazing!! I couldn't believe the wonders he did to my engine bay. He was also able to get some surface scratches out of my freshly painted ride. I will definitely have him detail my 2011 370z next and for the quality work, the price he quoted was, in my opinion, a steal read more

Rich's attention to detail and professionalism blew me away. He did an interior detail on my old 2001 Dodge Dakota. He showed up right on time, and spent a lot longer than I would have expected to make sure that everything was as clean as he could possibly get it. I didn't expect it to look half as good as it did in the end with the truck as old as it is. His attention to detail is extraordinary, even compared to some brick and mortar detailing shops I've seen. The pictures don't do it justice compared to how it looked before. I'd highly recommend Rich for anyone looking for quality work. read more

I've been getting my car detailed for over two years now by Rich. First, he is very responsive when I text or call for an appointment. I usually get in the same week I call, if not it will be the following week. Second, he is very reliable. When he says he'll be there at 9 AM, he shows up at 9 AM! Time is very important to me and I love the fact that he shows up when he says he's going to show up. Lastly, the quality work he puts out surprises me every time. Although my husband and I have been using his service for over two years I am astonished with how clean he gets my husbands work truck. My husbands truck is about a year old but if you look in the inside, most times it looks about 10 years old. However, after Rich comes by to clean it, it looks like it just rolled off the sales lot every time. He pays very close attention to detail and he takes pride in it. It shows through his work. If your considering using his service, just do it. You won't regret it. read more

Terrific job. Made my car look brand new. Really appreciate that they come to where the vehicle is located.

I am beyond happy that I found Rich! I was so tired of looking at my "its-obvious-that-you-have-small-children" car. Snacks stuck between the seats, sticky...whatever that is, on my carpet. I thought for sure that Rich was going to faint when he saw my car! Just a crime scene, really. But he took one look at it and said "oh this is just a typical car." My superhero! Initially Rich said 3 hours, which is expected, because I was asking for a DETAIL and not a vacuum. He arrived on time and introduced himself. Super nice guy! So I gave him the talk. Explained that I've gone to many people for interior details and have never been 100% satisfied. There's always been "forgotten" areas in the past, like in between the seats, which bugs me! Also I have an SUV, which means everything can get into your seat tracks but you can never get anything out, unless your name is Rich. They are CLEAN. Rich said that he never leaves until he is completely satisfies with his work. That truly says something about him and Akamai Detailing. It took him a total of 5.5 hours, but you could eat off of my floors, if I decide to let anyone back into my car. He was very equipped with everything he needed to do an excellent job. All he asked for was a water hose, and he needs an outlet for his extension cord. Did I mention that his prices are unbeatable! $175 for the work that he did on my car (SUV with 3rd row seating) and he comes to you! I didn't need to leave my house and my car. I got to stay home and do laundry and enjoy my day while he worked non-stop. Hands down the best $175 I've ever spent on a detailing service. I will only be contacting Rich after my experience for my detailing needs and I highly recommend that everyone else do the same thing. read more

These guys are awesome. On time car looks brand new for a 3 yr old car. Got my car nice for shipping. Thanks guys read more

Jake and his assistant really know how to "TURN TWO"! If you really care about your automobile and you truly understand the importance of protecting you ride then you should stop reviewing the other detailers reviews because you are wasting your time. I did throw down some serious $$$ BUT you always get what you pay for. He has great products and skill that will leave you in total amazement. P.S. Go for the JetSeal..... read more

Jake and his crew have been detailing my BMW for the past six months and I've been extremely pleased with the service! Jake always starts by carefully looking over the car and pointing out any areas that will require special attention. Then he meticulously details the car correcting any problems and leaving the car looking better than new. He pays special attention to the wheels and interior too, which are often neglected by other companies. After my first detail (and paint sealant), I decided to by a year's worth of detailing based on the outstanding performance and outstanding customer service that Jake offered. I always carry his brochures and have recommended him to a number of friends. Everyone I've talked to has been extremely happy with the service too. I won't ever use anyone else to detail my cars as long as I'm here in Hawaii. I strongly recommend Jake and Akamai Detailing to anyone who needs their car to look it's very best!! read more

Excellent job on GMC 2015! Came right away and did good work! Will call him for the future!!! Thanks again.

Wow! My five year old minivan looks brand new!! I needed a detail from years of use and abuse by me, my kids and my dog & more importantly paint over-spray (a paint company recklessly painted a house next door and was lazy and did nothing to protect my car from the over-spray). Akamai was able to remove all of the paint and even some cement that somehow managed to find its way on to my rear bumper (I live in a new community with lots of construction). Jake was very professional and was able to work me into his schedule, they were on time, and worked very hard to please me, which they did :). Plus they are mobile! I will definitely use them again as well as recommend to neighbors & friends. read more

Superb job! I didn't know my car could look that good again. Detailed my 2002 Audi TT roadster, and every part looked new again, including the rag top. The interior looked like a brand new car. Paint had a mirror finish, and the engine bay looked like the car had zero miles. Faded headlights were crystal clear afterwards. After that I had him do my CBR 1000 and he made that look brand new. It's been 3 months since my car has been detailed, and just a light wash keeps the paint just as shiny with the sealant he put on it. Jake was extremely professional, and knows a lot about detailing. Awesome guy and I recommend him to everyone I know. read more
