Default Detailers in South Jersey

Hello-
My 2006 black GT has a lot of swirl marks and surface scratches, and I need them taken care of. Honestly, I don't trust myself with a Porter Cable, and I don't trust just anyone off the streets.

Does anyone know of a reputable detailer in New Jersey, Southeastern PA, or heck, even Northern Delaware that they'd recommend? The one person I'd trust with the car has moved to Indy, and I just can't justify the cost to drive out there and have him detail it for me.

Thanks!
JR

JR I've done mine and my model A. I'm a HUGE Adams fan. And use a Porter Cable. Check out my pics 100% swirl free. And black is the best to do.

Agree with Pete for one adams is the best also dont be afraid to use the porter cable i think theres a youtube video by a guy called the junkman( very good car detailer) who takes a porter cable puts it on the highest level with a high cut polish and pushes it into his own car and shows there is no burning of paint or anything i think theres a thread on the forum that has those videos if not can probally find it on the you tube

Sorry for the lack of knowledge, guys, but what is 'Adams'?

The other problem I have with doing it myself (I've detailed cars before, just no polish with a PC) is that I don't have the time. I'm working between 40 and 50 hours per week, and I'm in my last semester of grad school for Systems Engineering. There's just no ability for me to spend an entire weekend fumbling through things between now and June. I'm obviously not going to be doing anything until the salt and snow are gone, but hopefully I can at least get an idea of who to go through.

Also, JerseyGator, great looking cars!

I'm actually pretty annoyed at myself right now...I bought new tires last month, which cost me, including mounting, balancing, and alignment, damn near $1000. I'm now seeing that take off sets of GT500 rims with brand new F1 Supercar tires go for about a grand on eBay. Very annoyed I didn't jump on that, because the GT500 rims are just GORGEOUS.

My son has a detailing business on the side. He's the only one I trust with my cars.

Gotcha...I've always used ClearKote products for waxing. I'd never heard of Adams...

Mind asking him for a quote for a 2006 black Mustang GT including polish and hand wax, as well as the same for a 2007 black Mercedes C280?

Also, do you have any pictures of his work?

I'll ask him about that this afternoon. For pics start with my garage. He did the 3 stangs, the vette & f150. He has others I'll add later.
