Default Good detailer in Philly or South Jersey

Hi everyone, can someone suggest a good detailer in Philly or South Jersey. My friend's jack russell was overly excited to see me and tried to jump into my driver side window. Needless to say he was too short to jump into the window, but his nails left a map of scratches. But my car needs a good exterior detail anyway. She has never had one and there are plenty of swirl marks and hairline scratches. Any help or guidance will be helpful. Thanks!

If you dont mind traveling to southwest. The guy i go to is AWESOME!! And the icing on the cake is he's as cheap as you can get. Not to long ago my dads GS got paint on it from the city painting lines on the ground. My guy wet sanded, buffed, washed, waxed, vaccumed the inside, conditioned the leather and tire shined all four tires for $150!! Had the car looking factory new, smooth as a baby's butt!! Lemme know if you want his # and address.

That price is worth checking out. Does he have any pics for me to see his work?

wow really? That is so nice of you Rob! I would, of course, bring a case of your favorite beer and feed you for the day.

I'm going to take Rob up on his offer, but I do want to see your car nonetheless. I won't make it to the next Philly meet, but hopefully we get to catch a Eagles game together.

For anyone looking for a topnotch detailer in the Philly/South Jersey area, I suggest using Autobsessions.

They take care of my IS on a regular basis and it looks fantastic year round.
