Please help me thank you..

OK my before i bought my car it was a lease and i guess the person that din't have it before , din't give a shit about the car ? But When i got it , theres a deep scratch on back of the 2 doors from both sides i guess from other doors hitting the car when u open the door.. Then the front bumper has a huge scratch soo the previous onwer decided to pain that with regular PAINT! lol and i have tons of little scratches and swirls...


What i was thinking is to take to a body shop first make them fix both doors and bumpers , yes i got a great price on that for only 450 well i know the guy soo his hooking me up .

Should i do that first or Detail it first...?

And anyone know of a good Detailed in Nj/NY Area...?

Get the paint work done first, otherwise your detail will be a waste since the car will get swirled up in the body shop, and they will buff it as well, usually doing a poor job which is visible once the glazes wear off.
