Recommendations for paint correction/detailing?

Hey everyone. I'll save everyone the rant and just say that some prick gave me a few nice key swipes last night. My paint is swirly and needs correction anyway and I've got a couple door dings from other people who suck.

I'm in Western MA and was hoping someone knew of good detailing and paint correction closer to the Springfield area or Hartford, CT area. I know there's Rick at Unique Car Care in Wakefield, but that's quite a drive.

Thanks everyone.

Email Eco auto detail. His name is Morgan. I forget where in CT he is based but if you have a power outlet and a hose he will do a full correction on site. He does amazing work. Pm me your email address and I can send over pics of the work he did on my TL-S a few years ago.

Hmm, I'm not sure my car is doable on-site, from what I gathered it's like a 20+ hour job for heavy swirling and paintless dent removal. How bad was your paint when you had your car done?

Also, does anyone have any idea what I should expect to pay for a car with heavy swirling, some scuffs, and four panels that need dings out? I was thinking about going with Rick at Unique Car Care, but I can't get a hold of him.

Mine TL was about 7 hours and it was pretty ugly. Don't think he does pdr though. Best advice is to get the dents removed and get the paint corrected. Take some good pictures and email Morgan at Eco. Tell him pat from OT sent you and you aren't an axe murderer either. He'll get it. He charged me $500 I think.

I sent him an email a few days ago and haven't heard back yet. Apparently it's damn hard to get a hold of detailers?

Sounds about right. Try him on Facebook, he checks that more often I think.
