I spent all day yesterday from 11AM to about 5PM doing external work on the car. I bought a pressure washer (SO HELPFUL!) and did a pre wash, foam soak, wash, rinse. Then I clay bar'd. Then I hit it with some iron remover. Then I dried and took into my garage. Hit it with a 3D ONE compound and URO Fiber 50/50 pads. Finished it all off with an SI02 spray and she looks amazing. I removed about 90% of the swirls and did about 90% of what a "paint correction" would do for the out of pocket cost of the materials that I keep forever. Saved about $1,500 doing it myself. I'll get a pic later when sun is out. Car goes in Tuesday for limo tint.

pricing is based on how messed up your current paint job is that will determine the amount of time and type of chemicals to use. Pros will not qoute you without seeing it generally the more oxidation and scratches the more expensive and worst come to worst might not even be correctable.
