What is clay bar? Would that help the scratches at all? I've found this detailing place that does that to so I was wondering. They also will do:
Clay all Painted areas as needed
Machine Buff Exterior to Remove Light to Medium Scratches & or Dull Oxidized Paint
Machine Polish Exterior to Remove Swirl Marks & Produce Glossy Shine
Application of Wax
Apply Polymer Paint Sealant
Molding & Trim Dressed to Protect from the Elements
Detail Logos & Trim to Remove Excess Wax Residues

Would this fix the problem?

When it comes to detailers looking at their menu wont determine if they are good or can fix the problem. Anyone can say what they will do certain things but are they any good at it?

The best is through referral, if thats not an option than see if you can view samples of their work.
As others mentioned the local car wash with the specials for higher end detail may not be the best route.
Then there are also detailers that claim they are professional but are no better than the local car wash.
Even though your swirls look bad to you now, a bad detail and your car can look a lot worse.

It depends what you consider a good job and if that definition matches the detailer you are considering.

If your serious about taking care of your paint, and with a black car it's either all in or f it, you should definitely take some time to do a little research/reading. There are tons of articles and videos out there on the subject. Here is a link to just one. My Xmas gift to you. Good luck.

Trust me I know. They say they do all this and it can make things worse. They said they will do a little sample so i will see how that goes. But what I listed is very expensive. They said they will do that all and the whole interior for $175! but I'm still looking around.

Thanks for the website. I will definitely look into it.

That won't be enough to get rid of the swirls. PC 7424 is probably the cheapest polisher available.

been reading on the pc 7424 ive bought from autogeek and i see they have them in packages as well... which would you prefer? cost wise and resultwise
thanks
