Pro Detailer / shop for S2000

I'm looking for a professional detailer who can give my S2000 a little bit of TLC. I've been pretty good about detailing up until about 12 months ago and since then I just haven't been able to find the time for it. It's not too bad, not much in the way of swirl marks. Definitely needs a going over with a clay bar as there are a lot of surface contaminants on the paint; engine bay, rims and plastic trim could stand to be touched up as well. Interior: carpet cleaning for the front seats, and probably a good cleaning / treatment for the two leather seats. I'm debating doing this myself but it might make more sense for someone to do this "right" for the time being. I typically use Meguire NXT wash+wax, sponge bath for the entire car, 303 for the interior, and Lexol cleaner + protectant for the seats. I'm nearly out of all products now and the car hasn't recieved more than a spray-down since last fall, which is why I think it might be better to send it to a professional spa, then take over from there.

Any recommendations of people / shops you've tried that impressed you enough to recommend? And roughly what should I expect to pay for the above?

I can't believe I left that out! *smack*

I'm in the Detroit metro area. On-site or off-site can work, I am flexible... just need a solid, full detailing. By the way, I used to do a lot of this myself (for myself & friends) and appreciate the effort & love involved, so I'm not going to nickel and dime a pro...
