Default Good Detailers in the NY (Long Island) Area...

.
Guys, My car needs a detailing, bad. It's been about 3 years since it was last professionally done. I attempted to do it myself last year, but it didn't come out as good as I had hoped.

I'm looking for a shop in the Long Island, NY area who you guys have had experience with, and who did a great job. I am hoping to get all of the small hairline scratches, and tiny paint chips buffed out, and to get that nice shine back.

Let me know.

They're not really rock chips ... more like dull spots from random road debris and bug splatters, etc. I guess when I was writing the post I exaggerated a little.

I'm like dead in the middle of the island, and wouldn't mind going really anywhere as long as they do a good job. The price isn't an issue either.

$100 isn't expensive. A full swirl removal job should run easily over $150-200. Autopia is the place to look for great detailers.

I would recommend Vettech also. They do great work.
