I've been quoted 90£ by a bodyshop to paint correct all my swirls, and scratches! Obviously they don't use amazing stuff like zymol, but is the price anygood?

They'd use my wax to seal it, so that cuts things down a tad too!

EDIT: WAX MF!

Yeah, and they will clean it, PC it all, wash it again, then wax it and buff - apparently. Not sure on the make of polish they use, but I'm guessing it won't be morrisons own as there a reputable bodyshop!

They havn't had a complaint yet, and they do exotic cars!

I would defintely get it done by them, as they haven't had any complaints, £90 is quite cheap, polished bliss would charge £595.00 to £895.00 for correction work, but there work is world class.

are they using a pc then or a rotary?

i cant see them doing a decent job for that price. i mean claying takes forever. see depending on polish they could be filling the swirls and not getting rid of them.

i wouldnt expect much imo by the sound of it. an average car is prob 2 days work depending on condition.

but on the flip side, you may get £90 worth of work your happy with

He said he charges 90 because his bodyshop itself is expensive. So hes done it to kind of weight it out.

My friend got his corsa resprayed for over 2K, without the engine bay, or inside the boot! So there work is expensive, but very very good, people travel all over the country to get there ferraries and porche's etc all resprayed, corrected or fixed.

And anythings better than it now! Stupid cat uses the bonnet as a slide! :fcuk:
