I've got a PUG show coming up in month of so's time.....and wanna get my car looking 100% before then.

Basically, the quality of paint on mine is perfect all round....no rust, scratches or anything. However, the guy who owned it from new before me, musta insisted on using a normal car wash every time (spinny brush things)! This means my car is "Swirl mark" city, and in direct light, it annoys me!

Now, the car doesnt need a full respray, however, i wouldnt mind having it professionally Cut and Polished.....but will this do the trick?

I understand they use a proper polish and proffessional gunk stuff to get the laquer flat and make the car lovely and as new????

Anyone got pics of this done, or know about? How much would i expect to pay for a FULL polish?

cheers (soz for long post)

sure will mate i used to valet cars for a living.if they use an electric buffer with some g3 then polish it you will get rid of all the swirly marks.local bodyshop or a decent valeter will do it for you

yeah once it's buffed up as long as you don't put it through the carwash it will stay like that.i would get it done a couple of weeks before hand as the compound gets everywhere and you will need to give a real good clean
