Default professional detailers - for paint correction

Seems there are many individuals offering detailing services such as paint correction, essentially out of their homes, not necessarily licensed, insured, bonded. Recs for professional, full-time, detailing outfit in NoVA?
I am a little leary of leaving the keys to the ride with someone working out of their home/garage, since paint correction can take a day or two. Advice?

By paint correction, do you mean fixing rock chips and/or road rash?

I've used Darryl (who replied above). He doesn't push it, but he has a shop named Odds and Ends. He's performed miracles several times on my cars. I can't seem to even look at one of my black cars without screwing it up, let alone polish it and Darryl has done what I thought was impossible by bringing them back to life.

He meets your criteria of having a facility that is not his home, a license and insurance.
