Default Bike detailing in Northern VA

Has anyone had a good experience getting their bike detailed in the National Capitol Region or close? I just don't have time to finish my chrome. I would like to get it done once and then see if I can keep up with it. Detailing service only please. I have already tried a long list of products. Thanks.

I was taking my bike to an independent (Hardcore Choppers) for service and loved them but a friend told me that Patriot Harley would deliver the bike spotless after service. Took her there in Fairfax and sure enough from the whitewalls to the chrome the bike comes out of service looking amazing.
They get my service for that one reason.

Ok. I've had it serviced at Patriot and I guess I didn't pay attention. That makes me feel a little better about the price. I would like to find someone who will just clean it thoroughly without a service.
