Any recommendations for a good detailer in soCal? I NEED to have my car detailed... Had the car for a year, never done it.

My ideal E60 care & cleaning pace would look like this:
Weekly = wash & treat with detail spray (Zaino Z-6), wipe down interior, tire treatment.
Monthly = (in addition to weekly treatment) vacuum interior, interior glass cleaning, engine bay wipe-down.
Quarterly = (in addition to weekly & monthly treatments) re-apply protectant / wax (Zaino Z-2).
Annually = full detailing routine (wash, clay, polish, polish, polish, protect, protect, protect).
I just completed the annual detailing on my 550i a few weeks ago ...
