mate it would cost you between £500-£600 for paint correction and inside the car too. If you get it done, it will need doing again after a few washes....depends how you look after it. I am going to a detailer in Ascot, who is going to teach me how to use a Dual Action Polisher (better than a rotary in that you won't be able to do any damage with a DA). Better to buy a DA for £100 or so, and to be able to maintain it......come along if you like - he may have some space left - £75 I think for the day.....

Slightly Off Topic but I tried this whole detailing thing, spent £400 and it got the RRS looking like new, but after 24hours it might have just had a really good valet.

Am I wreckless for just running it through the local albanian hand car wash once a week and just chucking the empty bottles and papers out from the interior when I fill up at the garage?

Perhaps I dont deserve the car as I certainly don't dote on it like some.

But if I'm honest that's the way I 've treated it and 2 years on it still looks good.

I suppose one man's good is another man's dirty.
