Anywhere from £50 to £500+. Depends on who you go with and the quality and quantity of work you're after.

ideally you're going to need a machine polisher like the Megs G220 and associated pads and polishers - have a search through here - should be some info kicking around

or if you got an hour and hundreds - www.detailingworld.co.uk  :smiley:

depends on lots of factors... how bad is the car you are wanting detailed for a start?

can you post up some good quality pictures of your swirlness and any scratches etc?

do you have a budget?

if you've never "detailed" a car before then i would highly recomend getting it done by a pro first as ive seen so many first timers have a go and completly f*ck there paint up and make the car look more f*cked than it was before.
