Need a referral please!

Does anyone know a good auto detailer and a good body shop in L.A. and O.C. ? I am going to pick up a CLK Black Series next week and the car needs a lot of work. I am planning to wrap my C63 and I need a referral on vinyl wrap too. Thanks guys!

Congrats on the Black Series Dave!!
I know 2 very good body shops, High Quality Autobody and Bastolli Auto Body both do awesome work.
As for Vinyl wrapping I would go with Sticker City in Sherman Oaks, they have wrapped a number of high end cars including SLR's, Lambo's, etc...

There are a lot of dents, and scratches almost in every panel. Front bumper is cracked in the corner and the diffuser is also chipped. The car is in the shop now.
