Default Detailer in DC area

I have a black 91 S2 Cab that is in need of some paint care. There are several light scratches, swirl marks, halos, etc. I've read several great threads on washing, waxing and polishing but have decided to leave it to the pros to get it back in shape and then I'll maintain. With that said, does anyone have any reccomendations on a shop in the DC / Northern VA area?

If the scratcehs are light a good paint cleansing with some good wax is all that you probably need. Black is a PIA but can be made nice. I would be happy to help give you a crack at it.

if it needs something more i can buff it for you, but it might have to wait for my spring break when it's a little warmer...if you do want to do it though, it will make it look new! (and don't worry i'm a professional trained detailer)

All right! I'll go snap a couple but because I'm electronically challenged (hence the stereo install thread also) I may not be able to post them

Speaking of pictures, how do you get the pics under your username and below your post replies?? Again, I'm electronically challenged. That means computers too!

You can upload photos to a sight like www.tinypic.com they even have different effects if you want them. When you upload they will give you a tag for websites, copy the tag and paste in the body of what you are writting or the signature block. To set up a signature block go up to user CP and click edit signature.
