Houston area: Looking for Great Detail Shop??!!!?

I've got an 05 OB Coupe that I'd like to get some minor swirls out of the paint and looking new again. I've tried to look locally but no luck. I live in Brazoria County so I'm not to far from Houston. Anyone know of any shops that can do this job without me having to worry about getting it back in worse shape then when I take it? Again it is OB so any mistakes will defintely show so lots of experience with black cars is definetly a plus. Also anyone know what price range this kind of work would be in?? Just the exterior not interior. Someone help me out thanks!!

The car masseuse on the corner of dairy ashford and briar forest. They've been around for years and several people have recommended them. Although, it can get a bit pricey i'm sure as most detail shops will be.

I myself am trying to find a porter cable so I can do it myself it'll prolly cost around the same with supplies but then it's more self-satisfaction for me. Good luck with your search. Let us know how it goes.

Call Mark and say Dan with white g35 sent you. He will be detailing my car at the end of this month. Seen some of his work and it is very impressive.
He has a website, but I forgot the info.

Mark: 409-658-1127

Yeah... me. I've been doing it for YEARS. I just don't advertise as it's my part-time gig.



A few references for kicks:



Buddies M5... the body shop did a $hittay job polishing his door out after they sprayed it:




This was a paint restoration that I did a few years back:



And I own an OB if it matters. Drop me an e-mail if you want. I'm mobil and come to you. I work weekends only however.
