Envious Detailing

After looking at several detailers/​clear bra installers, my husband decided to try Envious. Given this work is really about the effort from the installer more than anything else. People can argue about which film is better, but at the end of the day, it’s about how good the installer is. Let me tell you Eric (the owner) was that good. He ended up doing the full front, side mirrors and rocker panels and the work is flawless. Additionally, the car my husband brought him is not that common and ended up presenting him with a few install curve balls that required extra work (i.e., more man hours). Yet, the work was still done to a very high standard and delivered as promised. Overall, I or my husband would not hesitate to use Envious again and will certainly send all of our Alfa and Lotus car buddies over.

One sign of great entrepreneurs is passion for your business. Eric has it and tons of dedication for his craft. He focuses on quality and precision and will not undercut either. I met Eric through Emmanuelle Design of Anaheim an auto-​tuner. He came very highly recommended and after visiting his shop and seeing some of the cars in progress I felt very comfortable I was in good hands. Let’s be honest there are a lot of guys doing this but after meeting with a few I got the sense the quality of quantity was Eric’s mission statement and he gets plenty of referral business as a result. My car is now protected via the Suntek clear bra and I feel much better driving the freeways of SoCal. When people ask me about my car now I tell them «I got a guy» and send them on their way to Eric and the team. Thanks again for the awesome job!

Eric is the man! I just got my dream car and was looking to protect my baby. I knew I wanted ppf/​clear bra (xpel), paint correction and paint coating. With so many different business to choose from I didn’t know who to go with so I turned to fellow BMW m3 enthusiasts and asked on Bimmerpost on who they recommended. I’m sure everyone knows how picky BMW owners can be so I knew whoever they recommended had to do quality work. I still did my own homework and got different quotes and weighed out my different options. I gave Envious detailing a call and Eric explained the whole process and prices and went over all my options because I wanted more protection than your typical front end clear bra. Even though Eric’s shop was almost an hour away from me I still opted to go with him because I knew my car would be in good hands. He also never pressured me too add extra packages or protection I didn’t want. He is a one stop shop if you’re looking for «New Car Prep».
Most new cars need some type of paint correction coming from dealerships because by the time they hand you the keys someone has always attempted to detail your car and has left swirl makes and all types of imperfections. After the paint correction is complete now your car is ready for PPF (paint protection film), you don’t want to cover all those swirl marks and imperfections under the clear bra because then it’s just there trapped under the film and you’ll never be able to get to it. After all that is done now you’re ready for some paint coating!!! In my case I went with Modesta to make sure my car has a gloss that’ll last for years and make my car upkeep a lot easier. Once again Envious detailing did all of this for me which is another reason why I chose Eric. No need to find multiple shops to do all the work they provided under one roof. He can also tint your windows too which I elected not to do because not sure if I want tint with this car.
He finished my car on schedule and made sure to keep me updated the whole time, even texting me a picture of the progress on my car. He is really meticulous with his work and made sure my car came out perfect.
I ended up going with 1) one step paint correction 2) Xpel clear bra on the full front end (bumper, lights, full hood, mirrors, and full fender), xpel on rocker panels, door cups, rear quarters, door pillars, and luggage area by trunk 3) modesta coating on wheels and full exterior 4) full leather/​interior protection
Car is show quality now, and I’ve received nothing but compliments wherever I go. Money well spent and couldn’t ask for better service. I can say a lot more but I’ll let my pictures do the talking.

Eric does amazing work! I can’t say enough great things about his attention to detail and skill. Anytime I need detailing I call Eric and he gets the job done. Eric has worked on my Camaro ZL1 and most recently my M3. My M3 received CQuartz Finest coating on the body along with Modesta coating on the wheels. When I picked up my car I was blown away by how good it looked. Washing my car is a breeze now and everyone always compliments how clean it looks. I would recommend Envious Detailing to anyone needing detailing, clear bra, and window tint!

Picked up my new Ruby Red 2016 Mustang GT and took it straight to Eric for the two step paint correction and then the Modesta Coating. WOW did he did an amazing job. The car looks better than new and it’s a new car! My salesman saw it and asked if I had a new high end paint job done on a brand new car that’s how great it looked. Eric was fantastic, professional and worth twice what I paid. If you have an old car you want brought back to new or a new car you want to protect trust me and take it here. Every car I own from now on will start out here from the dealer. Thanks for a fantastic job!!!

This guys work is just plain awesome.
He is like a machine with his orbital buffer.
Quality work takes time and he puts forth full effort. This place is not your everyday shop that just gets it done as quickly as possible.
After about a month and a half the Modesta BC-​05 coating is still like a mirror.
Pictures 51 – 53 show just how mirror like the finish of a Modesta BC-​05 coating is.
Pictures were taken after a wash and a wipe down with some Modesta M1 quick shot.
You can clearly see the top of the carport reflected off the horizontal surfaces.
Let it be noted however that one of those brown paper towels you find at a gas station can scratch the Modesta coating. First and last time I wipe off some gas droplets with one of those things!
Having had the coating on for a while and about 7k miles later; the coating has held up real well. The front of the car has a Xpel Ultimate wrap to protect from rock chips and it looks as spectacular as the rest of the car. (entire car is coated with the Modesta).
After a washing and wipe down with some M1 quick shot; the car just feels so smooth. Even now I still enjoy wiping down the hood and seeing my reflection off the mirror like finish.
The work done is impeccable and I highly recommend this shop.
The attention to detail is second to none.

Just had my wife’s Mercedes GLK detailed… full front Bra and Modesta coating and the car looks amazing to say the least. Eric is a true professional when it comes to detailing cars and the info he provides on maintaing your vehicle. Don’t waste your time with other detailers as there is only one guy that is above the rest… Eric.

Eric treats cars as his own… heck, better than his own. From basic clay and polish to high end clear wrap, paint correction, CQuartz Finest coating, this is the guy to do it. See a flaw in what’s done, he’ll fix it instead of dismiss it and give you some lame excuse.
2016 Lexus ES300h with an amazing «Autumn Shimmer» paint (I hate that name, think metallic, 6 color root beer)…I didn’t think the paint could look better, especially since it came off the boat 5 days before I gave it to him.

After doing research online and reading reviews about automotive detailers in the Orange County area, I decided to call Eric at Envious Detailing to perform paint correction and apply protective coating on my car. After calling Eric, we decided a two step correction along with a nice coat of CQuartz Finest would be the best route to take to clean up and protect my car’s paint.
Perfection costs money and takes time but that’s why Eric quotes at least a full day for a full paint correction. But let me tell you, it’s well worth it to not have you daily driver for one day when you see just how great your paint can look when it spends 24 hours at Envious. The paint on my car has the depth of the abyss and is like glossy black glass with no sign of swirls or imperfection. People say «looks like new» when they normally get a detail but with Envious, even better. Oh and the wheels? They’re clean enough to eat off of. With the protective coating, brake particles and road dust has a much tougher time sticking and causing damage.
Overall, I’m really happy with the way the paint correction turned out and I feel that my money was well spent. Eric’s attention to detail is the exact quality you are looking for when finding a professional detailer. Look no further, the road to perfect paint is here.

Came here to get a clear bra on my new 2015 4Runner, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Due to the amount of steep edges and curves on the front, the original film did have a few imperfections. However, after letting Eric, the owner know, he had me bring it back and re-​did the pieces in question with no hassle at all and at no extra cost to me. I definitely plan on bringing new cars here in the future and recommending Envious to my friends and family.

Accidentally scrapped my front left bumper while backing out of my garage.
I felt terrible since my car was brand spankin’ new. Called every auto detail I could find and since today was a holiday (Memorial Day) every place was closed.
Thank my lucky stars that Eric called me back. He told me to swing by and that he’ll take a look at it.
I was there 15 minutes later and he did his magic on my car. Needless to say, Eric really saved the day and my car.
Thank you, thank you for taking me on such short notice and making my bumper look like nothing had ever happened.
5 solid stars for excellent service and job! Also, Eric is the one who works on your car, so take your car here with 100% confidence that it will be well taken care of. Trust me, you will lot be disappointed!!!

So I went to Eric hoping to give my recently purchased used prius (my first car) that new car look while also giving it some protection with a coating. My hope was to reduce the maintenance my car needed (as far as washing goes).
I emailed with him in advance explaining my needs, and Eric was very responsive over email. After discussing things over a few messages, we settled on me bringing the car in for him to look over and then decided the best way to move over.
When I brought my Prius in, Eric gave it a thorough inspection. However, rather than silently look it over (like a lot of people do… especially when you’re a female who they assume do not know/​care about cars) he also walked me through what he was seeing and thinking as he looked over the car. This made me feel involved in the process. His expertise in the field showed immediately. We settled on a one-​step process followed by a glass coating on my car.
But my hood’s paint showed more wear and swirls than the rest of the car. He informed me that he would go over the hood twice (thus spending extra time) but still only charged me for a one-​step process.
As Eric prepped the car, I revealed that I didn’t know much about maintaining a vehicle’s exterior and also was hoping for product suggestions. Eric showed me, as he washed my car to prep it, the proper procedure (yes, I didn’t know how to wash a car before…), explained and provided information different things I didn’t know (like you can measure how much paint is left on a car!)
The car was a several hour job so Eric also took the time to drop me off at a nearby shopping center as a favor while he finished up his work.
All in all, eric washed, clay’d, polished, touched up my paint, applied a coating to my entire car (and cleaned the wheels) for a fair price while also teaching me a few things and giving me and my car a ton of personal attention. He also later emailed me a list of recommended products so that I could properly take care of my car on my own.
He’s very passionate and knowledgeable about what he does, and I will return to him when I need my car to be re-​coated again.
Check out the pics for the results. Thanks so much Eric!

Eric is one of those rare people who cares about doing a high quality job. He did an amazing paint correction and 22ple coating to my newer black porsche 911. Went above and beyond even after the job was done. My car truly looks better than the day i drove it off the lot. You cannot go wrong with this guy!

I’ve used several Detailers, but no one comes close to Eric’s work! His attention to detail is amazing. I highly recommend him if your looking for a professional detail.

I read many great things about Eric so decided to give his service a try. I called and schedule appointment for him to come to my house to detail my gf Lexus suv. Her car has not been detailed since it was new which was about 8 years ago. Eric showed up right on time an began working. I am very impressed as he Made the car look better than new. I knew he was a pro when I asked him to used my bottle o premium wax and his answer was, «thats he same one he uses». I will definitely recommend him to all my car buff friends

I was having some issues with doing paint correction on my vehicle, and Eric went out of his way to generously give me some hands on training and advice as to how I should go about tackling the job. He went above and beyond the call of duty in order to help someone else (me) out, without expecting anything in return. I was able to see his expertise and knowledge first hand. He is well versed in all things related to making your car look its best. If you want your car’s paint to look the very best that it can (the vast majority of automobiles on the road will require a multi step machine polishing for this, not a 99 dollar detail job offered at your local car wash), then do not hesitate to give Eric a call. He is professional, down to earth, and just plain good at what he does. Thanks again Eric for the help and I’ll be in contact soon!

I havent seen my car look this good since when I first got it!!! The time and care he put into my car was the best anyone has done! WOULD recommend Envious Detailing to anyone!!!

I have been a customer of Eric for over a year. He did a fantastic job of doing a paint correction on my A4. Couldn’t have been happier with the results. It looked better than the day I bought it from the dealer. He has always knowledgeable and helpful in helping me maintain my car. Thanks Eric for all your hard work!

Eric is a fantastic detailer and a great guy. I needed some help with my 2004 silver Honda Element. He worked with me and now my car looks great! I urge anyone in the So Cal area to use him. He is very knowledgeable, professional and a true find. Thanks for all the help keeping my 2004 looking like new!
