Title: Want a detail,BUT only to get the swirls out !
Post by: essoman on June 08, 2012, 08:45:27 pm
I have a black Pearl metallic and have become hooked on the detailing side of things.I use the 2 bucket method,claying,polish,protector and wax etc etc and am generally very pleased with the results.Except, I still have light swirl marks that wont come out by hand.I dont want to Bu**er up the paint trying to polish them out myself .I have been mightly impressed with some of the detailers on this site but all the packages seem so expensive when all I really want is the swirls polished out and I can do the waxing etc afterwards.

Any suggestions,it seems too much of an art to use a machine ?

The machine polishing is 85-90% of the job so although I cant speak for every detailer out there... I doubt there would be much of a discount for not waxing afterwards.

I doubt anyone detailer would take that on to be honest. Reputations ride on the finished package!

I'm sure RussZS on here can give You very competitive price on his "enhancement" package if You are local to Him

Provide your own wax to the detailer to use. To be honest, the waxing part of the job is 30 minutes. Most of the graft is in the machine polishing and prep of the paintwork to begin with.
