On Time, total wash and detail with every aspect of the exterior and interior attended to. I was very pleased. And, James is a nice guy.

James' attention to detail was excellent! My car had more scratches than I was comfortable with due to an off-roading excursion. James came to my office (very convenient) which made the process very easy and allowed it to get done on a weekday. The result was fantastic! Will use him again. read more

James drove all the way out from the OC and did an amazing job detailing, then Opticoating on my FR-S. Also a great person to talk to, James is a real car enthusiast. Just an all around stand up guy. Highly recommended! read more

James did a fantastic job on my black Volvo. It shines like a mirror! It had a lot of swirls and light scatches and some really bad sea bird dropping damage to the clear coat. All but the deeper scratches are gone and the paint looks awesome! I was also impressed with how knowledgeable he was about the products he uses and recommends for use afterwards. I love how my car looks again!! read more

After noticing numerous swirl marks on my new car (from dealer washes), I decided to Opticoat my car. It seemed like a good investment, to maintain the paint on my vehicle. First off, it is very difficult finding a detailer (in Southern California) who opticoats. Once you find someone who will apply opticoat, it becomes tougher to find one that isn't going to break the bank. Then, it becomes even more difficult to find someone with good references! Enter James at Sunset Detailing OC. James was incredible to work with. An absolute professional. Not only did he give us a great deal, he knows what he is doing. He is very thorough, explains the entire process, and produces phenomenal results. James was able to remove nearly every swirl mark and scratch, during his paint correction step (pre-opticoat). Once this was done and the paint was perfect, he applied the opticoat. James even came to our house, to detail our vehicles. He's an extremely friendly guy, who makes you feel very comfortable. He's definitely someone I'll trust in the future to detail my other vehicles. read more

I had my Mercedes Benz paint corrected and then opti-coated by James and not only does it look brand new, I don't recall it ever actually looking this good even when it was new. The Opti-Coat is said to last about 5 years or so and protects the car from dirt, water, and other things like that and also protects the actual factory clear coat. Before putting the opti on, James removed as many scratches and swirls from the paint as he could and polished my car to a bright mirror shine. Once the opti was on, he assured me that it will lock in the shine and the car will always look like it did when he finished every time I wash it. The best part is that I never have to wax the car again as the opti coat takes the place of the wax and it does not appear that wax will stick to the opti coat anyway. He was very professional, really nice guy and explained everything to me before getting started. We sat and chatted for a bit when he finished and I can honestly say, I would hire him again in a second to take care of my other vehicles. read more

James just completed the Opticoat on my two new vehicles. A Q50 and a QX60. He did a fantastic job, was super friendly, informative and gave a very fair price. No sense in repeating what everyone else has already said here, it's all true. read more

I had been looking to have an Opticoat put on my new Porsche for quite some time. However, the quotes I was getting were outrageous. I then found James who put the Opticoat on my car for about 25% of the other outfits. End result is beautiful; so good that I brought my wife's car down the next weekend to have it Opticoated also. James and Sunset Detailing are highly recommended! read more

I left two messages for this person, one through his website and another by voicemail, he chose to ignore both. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and made a third attempt to set up an appointment to have my car paint polished and buffed. He did acknowledge having received both previous messages, and told me that he decided not to have the courtesy of a reply because he does not do traditional detailing, just "Paint Correction". In both my messages I clearly stated that was indeed what I wanted, just paint work, no interior, no tires and wheels. He first tried to sell me on a "Ceramic Coating" job then, without seeing my car to judge the paint condition, quoted me $450.00 to buff the paint only. Needless to say, I politely declined.... I really do hate to leave a negative review, but feel compelled to give my honest assessment of my experience... If this person does not do "Detailing," he really should change his company name! read more

Well over a year after I had my vintage BMW opticoated, I emailed James and told him that the car was experiencing some fading in the paint from being out in the sun. James offered to look at it and get the red back up to snuff free of charge. True to his word, I brought the car down to him in Mission Viejo. James finished up by the following morning. The car looked amazing--as if it had just come off the assembly line. Will hire James next year for my wife's mini-van and some other work. True professional and highly recommend. Stands behind his work. read more

I got Opticoat applied by Sunset Detailing after hearing about Glenn F. B.'s success. I can confirm his review is 100% accurate. Jamie spent practically the entire day correcting my cars paint. Super friendly guy and very knowledgeable about car care. One month after getting opticoat and my car still looks better than brand new. If you are thinking about getting Opticoat I would say there are 3 reasons why you should go with Sunset. First, they are car enthusiasts so they will treat your car as if it were theirs. Second, you don't have to worry about giving your car up to some stranger where you have no control over what they do to it. Finally, you get a car maintenance education watching him work. Jamie will tell you want products you need to get and how to car for your new cars finished so your opticoat will last for many years. read more

I am a little overdue in my review. I got a new Model S about two months ago. Having never had a car of my own before (I've always leased), I wanted to ensure that it would look great for years to come. I started to research options, and found James highly recommended on the Tesla forums. and I'm very glad I did. The results have been fantastic. All of this has been clearly stated before. We had some scheduling difficulty at first due to the timing of my delivery, but James was very quick to come up with an alternate time and date. I love the fact that he comes to you, as I was actually able to have him come out on a regular work day. He worked on my car and my home, while I was at work. Also, having never had my own car, I had never worried about how to care for it. Therefore, I had no idea what to do...even with something as simple as washing the car. James was able to provide very detailed instructions and give suggestions as to products to use. It would have taken me countless hours to learn all of that. Finally, over that last two months we have been in contact numerous times about other "follow up" questions, which have helped me feel confident that my car will look great and be well cared for in the years to come. Thanks James! read more
