I'm looking but I literally don't see any more swirls in it! which is bad ***. Did they measure the clear coat?

They tell you what pad and compound they used? Doesnt look to be very deep swirl marks.
Also would be good to know what they used for protection (wax/sealant).

How much does a nice detailing typically cost? I'd like to know whether I should do it myself or pay for the convenience.

Well this job cost $130, was like 9hrs of work. I do my own detailing under normal circumstances but I don't have the same level of equipment, patience and know how that my buddy does. Not to mention time. To me its worth it to do once. Once he has all those minor imperfections polished out of the clear it is a lot easier to keep looking great through the spring, summer, fall.Originally Posted by jclark920

My normal process is Dawn to remove the left over wax. Wash, claybar, wash again. Dry, wax with my Griot's random orbital. Touch up with Griots speed shine.
