I live in burlingtong nj and looking for a nice detailing place to try to get my paint looking good. like claybar, polish, glaze wax. im trying to get a professional to do it first and ill just keep it clean. does anyone recomend any shops in nj?

Do it yourself, you will save a lot of money. I just bought a claying kit by Mother's for about $17 today at Pep Boys. There is a vid on here somewhere on how to do it yourself, I will find it and post it for you.

If you are inclined to do it yourself you will save money in the long run especially if you do your car more than once.
It does not have to be a "full-blown" detail either.

If you would prefer a "professional" do the job, make SURE you get some good references.
Not all shops will take the time and care for your car as it should be, and not all individuals will either.

You can make the request on any of the on-line detailing forums to see if someone in your area can help you out.
Here are a few that come to mind.

If you want the best detailing job around you will need to go Warren township in New Jersey. I forgot the name of the place but its right off rt78. Im sure a quick look in a phone book will find you the number. Basically EVER weekend there is at least one Ford gt, lamborghini admaserati there. So i assume they can be trusted if they keep returning.

what kind of prices am i looking at for a good detail? just a estament cuz i have no clue
