    Default Detailer recommendations please

    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).

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    +1.. you'll even learn to appreciate the curves on your car Soon, you'll have a microfiber pad and towel collection that'll outnumber the number of bath and hand towels in your entire neighborhood.
    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
