Local Detailing Place?

My car seems to have accumulated a good share of shallow scratches and swirl marks (from God knows what...). Does anybody know a good, local detailing place?

Ming, they are usually pretty good. If you want to save money, you can try and do it yourself. Buy come compound wax, liquid wax, a claybar, soft washmit, leather chamois or california water blade and your set.

I am not sure it depends on what kind of detailing done you want done. It is best to call them or bring the car down and get an estimate.

They charge 350 for the"Ming" package. Another good place to go is Auto Details as well. They are the same price. As i said before, the pricing on detail/waxing/polishing goes down during the winter months. I was there in march of this year and it was 100 bucks cheaper then the price during their busy summer months

I just don't want to pay that kind of money. GAWD they can sure rake in the cash for a 1 to 2 hour job.

It's not a 1-2 hour job dude. They start off by cleaning your paint, then they do a technique similar to wet sanding which is the time killer. That will take anywhere from 4-5 hours then they polish/wax the paint.
