Detailers in NY

I have a Black VW and she is my baby. However, I am nerotic about scratches and swirls etc. (I know maybe a black car was not the best choice). Every detailer I bring it to does an OK job. But just doesn't seem to get the swirls out or the minor (did not hit the primer) scratches out. I am getting so frustrated, Anyone have any advice??? I need a detailer that is as nerotic and perfectionist as me.

Re: Detailers in NY

Hey Laurie where are you located to start? Also were the places you brought your car too somewhat commerical places or single person type operations?. Welcome to autopia.

Re: Detailers in NY

I am in Brooklyn, NY.
I would have to post a pic later, I am at work right now.
The detailers I brought my car to were not single owned shops. I guess more commercial.

Re: Detailers in NY

ok, post a pic and Ill let you know what I think would be involved in correcting.
There are people on here that will go to Brooklyn to do a correction for you.

Brooklyn is tough on cars.

Re: Detailers in NY

I know, Brooklyn is BAD. I scream everytime someone bumps my bumper, or if i get hit with rock salt. My car is only alittle over a year old but I was never even happy with the detailing that the dealer did to my car when I bought it. When I picked up the car it had streaks in it, so I asked them to detail it again. Then it had swirls, so I just gave up, and I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIX IT EVER SINCE.
I can do a prety good wax job myself but I don't know how to get the scratches and swirls out. I would be wiling to pay, I just want it done right and to my standards!!!! I don't think I am asking for much

Re: Detailers in NY

This is the place.
These are the people.

No swirls. Direct sun shots on a solid black car.
