Thanks man. It's nearly impossible to destroy ur paint tho bro. You'd have to sit at the same spot for about 5 minutes straight in order to get the paint hot enough to cause damage

Where are you located? What all are you getting done? Is it a multi-step paint correction he's doing or is just a wash/one-step polish/wax? I can't imagine your car being bad enough for a multi-step polish. Any pics? PM me if you'd like

^^ "I will wash, clay bar, polish (2 to 3 compounds; depends on condition), glaze, and wax." is all he said really

Is that using a regular polisher or one of those funky ones where it does a double circle (orbital I think). Maybe I'll try it out one day, I just don't wannna get swirls on it.

Wow, that's great work. The details where the vehicle is trashed are the most gratifying. Also, they're the biggest turn arounds.

Geez, it's like it was a totally different truck by the time you were done. Hope it was worth it for ya for only a couple of cheeseburgers. I would expect something better....like cash.

$250 sounds about right for all that if he's doing 3 polishing compounds, but I honestly don't think you'd need it unless you've left it out in the snow and drove it on salted roads and hadn't washed it in months

But I could be wrong I'd have to see pics Are you local to me?

I used a Cyclo Dual Head Orbital Polisher. Swirls won't appear if you use an orbital polisher Or any polisher for that matter. Try it out, I enjoy every second of using it
