Looking for a reputable detailer somewhere kinda local. Im in the East cobb area. Most importantly I want someone who does a great job, second in importance is a reasonable price.
Any recommendations?

What's your definition of 'reasonable'? $200-250? Frankly, I don't see any quality work in detailing jobs of less than $100-150.

^^for 100-150 just buy the products and do it yourself lol. My friend Chantal did detailing back in Cali for a company, and their basic detail service STARTED at $300.
She and I cleaned my del Sol for the SCC Autofest in Savannah... holy crap... changed the way I clean my cars lol. She had a cleaning toolkit... insanity. Car looked BRAND NEW by the time we were done (she did most of it lol).

+1.. you'll even learn to appreciate the curves on your car :D Soon, you'll have a microfiber pad and towel collection that'll outnumber the number of bath and hand towels in your entire neighborhood. :D
You can pretty much expect starter/cheap off-the-shelf products to be used with just a basic wash, vaccum and a 1 or 2 (max) step process, assuming you're taking your car to a decent detailer.
Detailing is a job/business, much like most people work their ass off to earn a monthly salary. Unless you personally know a detailer or own a small-ish car, don't expect anyone to put 5-6+ hours of effort for a measly 100 bucks.
I'm not trying to bash you or anything.. just stating the bare facts.

I could help you out, if you were in athens. I have 3 years of detailing expirence, and even took some classes (former employer paid for). I take my time, use only the best products, and pay attention to every detail. Im not cheap though, as I don't do it everyday anymore.

I would do it myself and have a number of times on my previous vehicles, but I have a scratch that I want someone with a power buffer tool to hit up and see if that will be enough to get rid of them.

I bought a buffer for $16 on sale at pep boys. You can spend about $100 and FET everything you need for a bunch of washes. Meguiars is awesome :)
