+1 to what quciksilv3r said.

I would rather spend (which I did many times over) $1000 on detail products than paying someone that kind of cash to do it.

Over the years, I became a detail freak and do all of my own work.

Order a good Porter Cable (if you don't trust yourself) or a regular buffer and volunteer to detail one of your friends POS cars as a test module.

With your order get an orange pad, Manzerna 3 in one as mentioned of SF 1500 and SF4500, green pad and a choice of final finish. I still use Zaino Z-2 as I love the shine it leaves.

Go at it and see what you can do. I remember being very impressed after my 1st try and my friend thought that we got her black Civic repainted after I was done. Since then I really enjoy paint correction.

Phil at detailersdomain.com has a write up on pretty much anything that you can ask for. Check out his site.

Let me know if you have specific questions.
