Central Jersey Detailing shop recommendation?

Recently purchased a jet black 535, the color itself is PITA to maintain as you already know. Took the car for a hand wash today, noticed some scratches that weren't there before. My guess is the dealer did a bit of a quick detail on the car prior to picking up to conceal those scratches.

Anyways, anyone can share experiences, insights, recommendations about detailing services you have used? Greatly appreciated the feedback!

The quality of products used ... the attention to detail ... everything is how I would do it myself ... if I were to do it myself. I don't have the time to do it like I used to, nor the desire ... but I am still a perfectionist with my cars, so if I'm going to pay someone to do something for me ... they better do it as well if not better than I would myself.

I'm not saying they are the cheapest place around ... far from it ... but you get your money's worth. Plus they offer an "express detail" service that you can do at any time without an appointment ... high-priced hand car wash, but they get every drop of water out of every crevice of your vehicle, so when you drive away ... by the time you get where you're going, there aren't water spots all over the place.

This place really pays attention to detail!

Hey, I looked into the place in Shrewsbury, looks legit! Haven't gotten a chance to make an appointment yet, there is a place near me called Auto Image on Route 18, I am inclined to try. Will keep you posted!

I've heard mixed reviews about them ... I was about to bring the wife's car there for tint, as my long time tinter in the Bronx has declined in quality over the last 3 years, and wants to use a shitty film now. I was about to use auto image, until I heard the mixed reviews about their professionalism. If you do end up going there please post your reviews about their service and how the job turned out.

FYI ... I am using The Art of Tint in Brooklyn based on some good feedback from forum members here ... So I will post my feedback after the job is completed today.

I actually took my mother's MB to Auto Image last year to tint the windows, quite satisfied with their work. As far as detailing, I will probably wait until later when it gets a little warmer to consider. First item on my list is to install the M sport front bumper. I am considering powdercoating the wheels too. Do you have any good experience or know anyone that had good reviews about a powdercoating shop?
