I was going to have a go at polishing by hand but I think it's going to be a lot harder than I first thought to get it looking perfect.
Is there anywhere I can go to get my car machine polished? Will a valeting place do it or not? I only want it polished so I can wax the car myself. If anyone knows where I can get it done somewhere in glos that would be great.
Thanks

dont take it to a valeting place ora bodyshop mate they have very poor polishing techniques. there are some really good guys on here, i recommend either pm'ing wayne or predator_vtr, they both offer a machne polishing service and they are very good!

Yeh I thought that would be the case. How much am I looking at for just a machine polish?

best off giving them a pm mate as you dont just want it polished you want it clayed, polished, sealed and waxed.

be carefull who you take it to, i had a machine polish on a black car at a top body shop, and you can still see the mop... swirl marks

As said in my first post do not go to a bodyshop there cleaning and polishing techniques are wank.

Also buying your own machine etc is ok as long as you dont plan on using it once as for all of the things you need, machine polisher, pads, polishes, sealant, wax, detailing spray etc etc etc can cost quite a wedge and its always best to have someone with experience to do it if youwant a good finish imo
