I have always been disappointed with professional polishers - excuses as to why this part or that didn't come up like new. JKP soild me some dodo juice clay bar, polish, cleanser etc and it's produced a finish at least as good as any professional. It looked like glass on the bonnet!

I would be interested in the polishing machine though if jkp would post some info or pm me....

My advice would be do it yourself if you really love your car.

Good luck Jaguar XKR Convertible
MY 2012 Range Rover Sport TDV6 Autobiography in Fujian White....Mmmmmmm
Range Rover Evoque 2.2 Prestige in white - gone
Porsche Boxster S White with lots of extras! Gone
Lotus Elise 2011 Touring for sunny days - gone!

If you don't fancy machine polishing your car( the one JKP offers is a dual action polisher and only a small chance if damage) you could always look in to hand polishes that are designed for black cars

with a Dual action machine polisher you are pretty safe due to the fact it will not allow you to apply too much pressure and continue to spin at speed causing heat to burn through the paint etc

but you have to watch out for dragging grit/dirt onto the pad by going over gutter, trim edges so putting down some automotive masking tape along edges will help prevent it, like below

Today I had the paintwork detailed / corrected, this took the poor guys 13 hours from 8.30 this morning.

All the hard work was worth it though as you can see in the pictures below the paint is now like glass

Who did you get to do it?

Cracking finish Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"

I'm a bit of an Audi man myself, Aled - what's your history?! My current is a 53 B6 A4 Avant 1.9TDi Quattro 130. Brilliant car!

13 hours is a good work time for the RR photographed. No interior/engine-bay work, just paint correction? Certainly looks well in the photos.

For ~£250, you're looking more at an Enhancement detail as opposed a full Paint Correction.

Don't be fooled however, an Enhance & Protect job can still deliver some nice results.

Here's one of mine, shortly before Christmas. A classic Range Rover being put through a pre-sale Enhance and Protect job.

After the full wash/clay stages:
