ask rhyso what happens when a body shop buffs your paintwork  :lipsrsealed:

So who should do it then?
like i said above get guy or myself to sort you out, you will be very impressed

And you're all better than a bodywork shop?

So how much are we talking then for a wash, buff with fine compound to remove the swirls and then a layer of protective wax?
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

Using a rotary really isn't difficult at all,but for the price of a rotary,products,pads etc.....you could get it fully corrected,expect to pay £275+

believe it or not there is a knack to using a rotory and in unexperienced hands can be a recipe for disaster,trust me ive seen many guys thinking its easy and then watched them foooook the paint on the car.
and yes 250+ is about right for priceing.

:grin:

I get so much work as a result of main dealership valeters that think "using a rotary really isn't difficult". It is very easy to cut right through your paint if you don't know what you're doing and you aren't using the appropriate products.

As the pro-valeters on here have said - get a professional to do it. £60 is too cheap, you'll just get a bodyshop monkey doing it for that sort of price. You should expect to pay anything between £160-£300 depending on what else they will be doing (e.g prepping/waxing).
