Boston Folks - Detailer?

Hi everyone,
While I typically do all the detailing work on my MINI myself, I'm finding myself stretched for time lately due to work, etc. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a detailer in the Boston area. Best if it would be close to Lexington or Newton.

Thanks!

Are they using bath towels!?!?! My god, the swirls and scratches!

Can you tell I trust no one but myself?
(that way I have no one else to blame when I mess things up...)
I'd love to go into the business, if only I had the time. Octaneguy over on nam charges $400 a pop!
Anyway, I'm happy to give advice, and still intend to hold a detailing day soon if gavin happens to have the same one weekend free this summer.

I thought the $400 was on a MINI if he was giving instruction? Otherwise, I got the impression it was quite a bit more. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Either way, I'd love to have someone do my car the way he does. (This inappropriate innuendo brought to you by the early hour and partial cup of coffee).

I think he charges about $250 for a mini, just for the sake of it being a mini.

I have most of the stuff he uses by now.

I can stuff a pair of silicone implants in my shirt, but that doesn't make me Pamela Anderson, if you know what I mean.

Jus' playin', Josh. No harm meant. My distaste for detailing is epic. Hell, Jason wouldn't even let me park at the Loon lot without attempting to get my car washed!

Washing your car wouldn't have been "detailing" it would have been "mold removal".
