Detail shops Houston area

Anyone know a shop or someone that does some good exterior detail work in the Houston area? I'm located in Spring, so the closer the better.

I need the works. I usually clay, AIO, SG, and P21S by hand which has good enough results for me, but I think my paint needs a serious detail as I can see quite a few swirls, even after I have done the above.

my full detail sequence: (exterior)
-strip wash
-clay
-strip wash
-polish w/ RO (followed by wipe down)
-hand wax with p21s

the single polish takes out about 95% of swirl marks on my Jet Black car so alpine white should look like a white mirror once completed.

I dont do this for a living and i take my time so it takes me roughly 8 hours (give or take an hour). My real job i work M-F and alternate Sat. so Sundays are my only for sure day to do this unless i have the Sat. off.

my time is valuable to me so if my prices seem expensive im sorry, i have no problem spending my weekend drinking by the pool instead

-standard wash $25 ea. (includes door jams, wheels, etc...)
-claybar $50
-polish $50 ea.
-hand wax $50

So for a full Detail as i listed above it would be $200 (add $50 for every additional polish)
