Machine polish - what would you pay?
shail:
Thinking about getting a machine polish of my tornado red Golf. Local company offer:
1. Flatten paint using a very fine grade of wet and dry paper.
2. Machine polish the panels using a cutting paste.
3. Machine polish with finer grade of polish and a foam polishing head.
4. Then anti swirl polish.
5. Final hand polish
He's quoting £150 for the above - sound about right?

That's far too cheap mate, it can't be a full job

It is cheap - but if they do everything they say they are going to do where would they save costs? For the money if they are able to sort out 80% of the swirls I'd be happy. Main worry would be them somehow wrecking the paint!
The company are a mobile outfit - they do paint/scratch repairs and alloy wheel refurbs as well, all from their vans.

:signLOL: :signLOL:, did they give you a time scale? That is a weeks worth of hard work and would cost £1000+ pretty much anywhere. For £150 I would expect a 1 day enhancement detail, car cleaned and clayed/ single stage machine polish/ wax and maybe a quick interior valet.

There is a huge amount of work involved to flatten the paint with wet n dry.
It can't be more than a days work for £150 minus materials, no doubt it will look better, but it sounds like they've overstated what they can do, unless they meant £1500
