Just had a paint correction detail done to get rid of all the swirl marks. Paint feels and looks amazing now. Best $120 ever spent!

Mine needs it done pretty badly. Pics make the paint look better than it is.

I had a friends mobile company come and do it at my house. They charge $129.99 for just the exterior. In my case, the car looks better in person than in the photos.

Copied and pasted from their ad:

Exterior:
  • Exterior wash w/soap (Foam Cannon)
  • (Including door jams, hinges, & weatherstripping)
  • Clean wheels, wheel wells, and remove brake dust
  • Clean trim, vinyl & chrome
  • Remove tar & road contaminants
  • Clean all windows & mirrors
  • Clay bar entire car
  • Chamois dry exterior
  • Apply 1 step polish using dual action polisher
  • Apply 1 step wax using dual action polisher
  • Apply tire shine
