Can anyone recommend a good car detailer?

Looking to get my 4Runner cleaned inside and out for a not so expensive price.

Thanks.

Also in for this. Someone that can cut and polish black without the factory installed swirls. I have a car and a truck to have done. Both black.

Mobile Reflections does great work. Bills hourly so let them know your budget.

If you are on a huge budget have you considered putting the tlc in yourself?

You might be able to get away with a light polish. Most people think you need to cut aggressively to get rid of swirls. A lot of times, you won't notice a difference between cutting and polishing (other than you clear coat being a lot thinner after cutting). Beware of any detailer that says you need to cut paint to get good results.

For example here is a light polish on a black car:

Dealer...HA! I let a dear touch a black car a few years back, never again. Ever!

My truck is brand new so a polish would be sufficient for sure but my wifes 2013 charger may need something more....aggressive.
