LUSTR Detail

Just got my Ford escape detailed today. Service could not have been any better. Roman did a phenomenal job going over what he completed and what he recommended moving forward. You can tell these guys really take pride in there work and there customers. I highly recommend seeing them for any detail job or any sort of paint restoration!

Worked with Ivan on getting some detailing done on my 3yr old Audi S4. I haven’t been taking a good care of the car, just car washes at the dealer, which I know is not a good idea. Well I brought the car over to Ivan and after a day’s worth of work, the car looked nearly new. Well worth the money and time. Plus Ivan is cool to work with, which is always nice.

I took my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee here based on the reviews I read on this site. My Jeep is metallic blue with a tan leather interior. It’s a nice combination, but over the years the tan interior had gotten pretty dingy, and was beyond my ability to get completely clean. I’d spoken to Ivan prior to bringing my Jeep here and got an idea of what they would be able to do and the cost. Well, let me say that when I went to pick up the Jeep, it looked great, and the interior looked like new! All the dirt and grime had been removed from the seats and the interior surfaces, the paint gleamed, and wheels shined like new money. I could not have been happier. It was not cheap, but it was worth the money to me. Bring your car, truck, etc. here, and you will not be disappointed.

100 out of 100 rating. Go see them.
Roman and Ivan provided excellent service, experience, and delivery. They did a great job with a challenging black paint (I had the detail and clear coat). Both were honest in advising what I should consider spending money on and what I should not. They took time to answer additional questions and offer advice about care on my own. Communication was great.
Ivan actually continued to work with an injured shoulder to hit the promised delivery date.
They treated my vehicle with the utmost respect and care.
To top it off they are following up to make sure I am happy. They are not just a service, they are a partner.
You can’t go wrong with LUSTR.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Ivan is a real class act guy. Humble and honest, which is hard to find nowadays.
I brought my Black lexus in for two-​step paint correction, paint protection film, paint protection coating and leather coating. I knew my car was badly marred, just never realized how bad it was. Ivan and Roman made it look better than brand new after they where done. I couldn’t believe my eyes at how shiny and glossy my car was.
Throughout the process, Ivan kept in regular contact with me, keeping me updated on each step. When they ran into issues, he was upfront about it. He was more than fair with the pricing also, when parts of my car required 3 step correction.
They say you get what you pay for. There’s a reason why his work his more expensive than the $ 100 detail.
After picking up my car, Ivan ensured that I understood everything. Explained how to maintain the car paint as best as possible.
Will continue bringing my car to one of the best detailers in the US

I am a huge car enthusiast. Love my cars and most anything car related. Needless to say I do not let just anyone work on my cars. With family, work, keeping up a home and numerous other every day commitments and responsibilities it is quite difficult to detail my vehicles the way I need to these days. A few years ago I discovered LUSTR Auto Detail. I went through their web site and was very impressed. A web site however is only a start for me. So, when I finally had the time I went to see LUSTR Detail for myself. Upon meeting and speaking with Ivan I was just amazed at his knowledge, professionalism, and focus to provide the highest level of quality service. Included in our conversation was a looking at some of the cars he was working on as well as cars he had recently completed detailing. I was absolutely amazed and thrilled at the HIGH level of craftsmanship exhibited in the skill of detailing. I also find Ivan’s assistant Roman to have the same professionalism, focus, and passion.
No question about it, Ivan is the BEST detailer I have had work on my cars. This is not just due to his phenomenal detailing work on my cars, but also his knowledge, techniques, and level of quality. Very honest and trust worthy.
Ivan quickly responds to my emails, texts, and/​or calls. Ivan is very patient answering any and all questions. Ivan writes reviews for the Detailed Image website, which is an online store to buy car detailing products. Take some time to look at them. The reviews are quite informative and give you another big insight on his knowledge and passion. He uses great products and is not brand loyal. Ivan uses whatever product that works the best and is most cost efficient to address the detailing needs.
I HIGHLY recommend LUSTR Detailing! They do amazing work! Doesn’t matter if it’s your daily economic driver or your beloved Corvette, your car and you will be treated with the same HIGH level of respect, attention, and premium service! They truly love what they do!

I’ve taken my car to Ivan on several occasions and he has always given me honest assessments without trying to sell work I don’t need. On my last visit I got a paint correction for my Audi S4 and it looked better than the day I bought it. The man is pricey and it can be hard to get an appointment, but he does amazing work and is well worth the cost and effort if you love your car.

Excellent results. Ivan and Roman took a car that I thought looked pretty good and made it look even better than I could have imagined. I’ve got a daily driver that lives outside parked on the street. There is a ton of information on their website but I’d advise setting up the pre-​detail assessment. I had preconceived ideas on what I thought i needed, but we went over what I was I was trying to accomplish and they recommended options that were in my budget and would suit my purposes. The most important thing is they never tried to up sell me on anything and I never felt obligated or pressured to purchase or to upgrade my service. We ended up doing the Long-​term protection detail which included the new Optimum Gloss-​Coat. The final result was and is simply amazing.
For the level of craftsmanship they exhibit in their art of detailing, they are very down to earth. I feel like they treated my car and I and with a high level or respect. I never felt second fiddle to the the McLarens, Ferraris, and Aston Martins and their owners that theses guys also work on. In doing research, their prices are very reasonable given the high quality of the finished product. You pay a premium and you get a premium service.
I’d also like to point out that some of the other shops will have 4 – 5 guys pound out a car quickly, but it was nice to know that 1 – 2 guys who I trusted were taking care of my car. It felt much more personal than just «another car» to detail.
If you can’t tell, I highly recommend them. They’ve definitely won a customer for life in my case.

Lustr came highly recommended from a neighbor who had his new car detailed by them. His car looked great so I had my car done as well and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Ivan was very easy to work with, knowledgeable, and he communicates well so everything went smoothly. I do need some body work soon and he is willing to touch up the newly painted area as well once its done

Excellent job. I have known Ivan for a while since he started detailing. Always very professional and flexible on drop offs and pickups. Highly recommend.

I found Lustr auto from my favorite detailing forum
. I have a bunch of experience detailing my own cars, just don’t have the time to do it. I recently bought my car, a 2007 is350. The paint was in poor condition. The prior owner did not take care of it well.
I wanted to find someone that was a true professional, and loved what they did. I had taken it to a other places and the only thing they did was create more buffer holograms. They then would proceed to hide them by using oily fillers, which made the car look great for a week. Once the oily fillers disappeared i would see the newly introduced marring :(This is what i did not want!
Ivan seemed very honest and trust worthy. He assessed my car and made his recommendations. His recommendations were spot on. I explained to him that i did not want any fillers and he completely understood.
The actual finished product
The finished product was exactly what i wanted. there were no fillers used to correct the paint. I had no more swirl marks or holograms which is what i wanted. The car was smooth as glass with no more contaminates. I would recommend him to everyone. Don’t go to places that will do a hack job on your car. If you truly car about the appearance and the longevity of your paint go to Ivan!

LUSTR Auto Detail performed paint correction and applied Opti-​Coat to my new car.
Ivan inspected the paint and pointed out all of the swirls and imperfections that came from the factory. Once the work was completed, we did the same inspection and the paint looked great. I will absolutely use LUSTR again.
I found that, like other reviewers wrote, Ivan is very focused on providing the highest quality service. Ivan is a contributing writer at the Detailed Image website. From reading his articles, you can get a sense of his knowledge, techniques, and level of quality he is aiming to achieve.
You can trust your car to Ivan’s expertise and expect to receive tremendous results.

I have used Ivan and Lustr exclusively for all my detailing needs for the past 5 years, and have nothing but the highest of praise for their work. Honestly, I would not trust anyone else with my car. Any new car I get, I have the dealer skip the prep and take the car straight to Lustr to get it looking like it should from the factory. He uses nothing but the highest quality products with a technique that cannot be matched.

Without a doubt, Ivan is the best detailer I have worked with hands down. This is not only due to his outstanding detailing work on my cars, but also to his professionalism. He promptly responds to emails and is always patient in answering questions. This is, unfortunately, not common with some auto detailers. He uses great products and is not brand blind. One of the fantastic services that Ivan offers are the long term protection coatings including 22ple, CQuartz Finest, and Opticoat. I chose the CQF for my R8 and Opticoat for my wife’s daily driver. Both coatings provide an almost unbelievable layer of protection that is amazingly long-​lasting. The CQF has, IMO, more gloss and greater depth of shine but lasts about 2 years versus Opticoat which can, supposedly, last more than 5 years. These coatings are well worth the price, IMO especially for that special car. Highly recommended without any reservations.

I’ve taken all my my cars to Lustr for the past 3 years. Every new car I buy get delivered to Lustr before I take it on the road. Ivan and his crew are the best in the business. From paint correction to PLE22 application to a basic hand wash. Nothing in the Midwest compares!!!

Ivan is the man to call if you are extremely particular about your cars to the point where even the smallest imperfections keep you up at night. He treats every vehicle like it’s a $ 300k exotic and can work magic even on the most neglected cars. However, his services are designed for true enthusiasts… so if you aren’t familiar with terms like «swirl marks» and «orange peel», then you’re better off saving your money by taking your car to the local delta sonic ;-)

Ivan did a great job. He picked my car up and dropped it off, clean and finished within 2 hours. He was easy to work with. The car looks really nice, shiny and clear. It’s so clean, I can see where I sadly got dinged in the city a few times. Regardless, great job Lustr, definitely recommended.

I got my brand new car detailed by Ivan. Why would a new car need detailing? Because you would be surprised at the imperfections, scratches, and scuffs that a dealership can put on a brand new car. Put it simply, Ivan knows what he’s doing. He takes his time doing his work. He explains everything in detail that he is going to do to the car. Ivan will not leave swirl marks on a car. I’ve seen many so called expert detailers leave scuff and swirl marks. Look at your freshly detailed car in direct sunlight and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Ivan’s job was perfect. Not a swirl mark scuff or scratch anywhere, even under direct sunlight. The paint looked better than new. He may be pricier than most detailers around here, but in my opinion, he is well worth the price. You will be highly satisfied and never think about going to anyone else.

The first time I went to Ivan was back in 2009 when I first got my ultrasonic blue IS-​F. It was swirled up after a bunch of poor washes and I did some research on a bunch of car enthusiast forums, and everybody was recommending Ivan for detailing work.
I sent him an e-​mail, and in a few days I went out there for a paint inspection. He applied some tape to the hood and used a special light to show me the swirls and holograms in the paint. He worked his magic with the clay bar and polish. I was sold on the service and booked an appointment for a detail.
He takes care of the paint to the finest detail. He uses the top products for washing and dries the car extremely carefully, small areas at a time with minimal agitation. Always fresh towels + a two bucket wash with grit guard. After the polishing work, I requested sealing the car in Klasse, and he of course already had the product.
When I finally traded this car in, the salesman was blown away at how clean and immaculate the car interior and paint was. For the first time, I actually traded in a car for the top end value of the KBB estimate, which is very rare.
Thanks Ivan

Ivan did a fantastic job on my S4. I’m extremely picky about my finish and Ivan quickly alleviated all my concerns. He talked me through the options, was extremely professional both in emails and in person, and was flexible with schedule and location (he performed the initial assessment and the detail at his personal garage on the north side of Chicago — very convent for anyone in the city as it is right off the expressway).
My S4 is a dark, metallic blue… very hard to maintain. The finished product exceeded my expectations and I will be back next season for sure.
LUSTR is the essence of small business. Great personal service, passion for the work, and competitive pricing.

I’m fairly OCD when it comes to my cars; always garaged, no food or drink in the car, I don’t let the dealer provide a complimentary wash… my friends generally think I’m nuts when it comes to cars.
Over the last several years I’ve built an arsenal of detailing tools and products, and I’m quite happy with the results when doing my own work. However, my current garage situation doesn’t provide an ideal situation for detailing, so I set about finding a reputable detailer in the Chicago area. As with another reviewer/​customer, I found LUSTR through
.
I turned my car over to Ivan for a full day detail, and the results are staggering. The paint looks as good as it ever has. The products used are of quality and you can tell that the job was not rushed. In the end, you get a product that’s truly impressive, one that — for lack of better words — is really focused on the details.
It was also a pleasure to interact with Ivan; extremely personable and more than willing to explain the work before and after it was performed.
I couldn’t be happier with LUSTR.

I got 3 of my cars detailed here. Ivan did a great job on all three of them, he also gave me a discounted price for doing 3. Great Work! All the swirls disappeared and made my paint look better than new. Would definitely recommend lustr for some serious detailing.
