Default Need good detailer for black paint in NorCal

Like the title said, I'm looking for a professional to rid of some nasty clearcoat scuffs and scratches courtesy of the previous owner from my Obsidian paint. Would prefer business in South Bay or San Francisco, but willing to travel for quality work. Thanks!

I've been thinking of DetailAddict but they raised up their prices a lot; I still remember when their business was starting and it was only $150-200 for a full detail lol. Nonetheless they still do high quality work.

what exactly were you looking to have done?
were you looking for a high grade wax/buffing or PermaPlate(exterior only)?
if your looking to permaplate, i can arrange to have it done for an extremely reasonable price.

I need a process to remove all the holograms and clearcoat scratches the previous owner left on my car. The interior is still in pretty good shape; mainly concerned about exterior work, just need a professional to handle the buffer.

We do have a bud lives in Milptias who does professional detail works. His name is Dune and he works on his driveway/garage and by appointments only.

Scheduling is the only problem but his work is sooo-good. If you are interested PM me for more info.

Thanks, Joe and Miggz. Felix i have three black cars and i know how hard it is to keep them swirls and scratches free. Glen (RMMGS4) can vouch for me cuz i just completed his wife's IS300.
