Recommendations for a Cut and polish place (Melbourne, preferably eastern)

Can anyone recommend a reliable place for a cut and polish?
 
It's for the daily (corolla) so I'm not hugely precious, I know of someone recently who had their Territory done for about $250 and the car came up amazing.  I can't clay bar, polish, or do anything to my paint to make it shine.  Being 20 years old and always kept outside doesn't help I'm sure.
 
I don't have the tools, skills nor time to do it myself.
 
I'm in East/south eastern Melbourne but not that fussed with travelling for a good recommendation.
 
Cheers
 
Firthy

    i do a bit of hobby detailing, since its your daily i can help out if you need for a reasonable $$ (only because it a very tiring job)
    i have a lot of detailing equipment/products at home. and before you ask no its not your off the shelf products like meguairs, autoglym, kitten etc
    i however cannot do defect removal ( very big scratches, swirls, scrapes etc) it takes a lot of work and experience to do thats sort of work, if you just want it spruced up, poilished and sealed then i can do that
     
    otherwise for a proffesional job contact these guys they are from the detail paradise forums i am a member of

    cheers

    Hey Steve - sorry for never coming back to you on this.  I never realised anyone responded!!  Thanks for the offer.
     
    I still have the same need; this time for a potential other car with a handful of pretty significant bird poop stains.  I'd be keen for a professional and happy to pay for quality/honesty.
     
    So bump I guess - any recommendations in melbourne of places to contact/avoid?

    I usually go back to my panel beater/spray painter, they always have a good range and prep their cars for show n shine events.
