Well..I have had fine success removing swirls and whatnot from my black car with Meguiar's DA Polisher and M105. I normally don't even have to use anything after M105 if used with DA polisher, it's gentle enough, I can then go right to wax.
However...it's so hard to do the entire car, and I have to battle dust the entire time. It just doesn't look as good as it should, and the one thing I've never been good at is polishing tight and small areas, like A pillar, around license plate, etc.
Therefore, I inquired at the dealership. I could get an "upgraded" Exterior Detail for about $240, which they claim would include contamination removal (claying?), 3 steps of compounding, 3 steps of polishing, wax, and a spray wax. Doesn't this seem a little hard to believe for $240 though? If they really did all that, it seems like it would come out nice?
It would be 8 hours of work.
Do you think I should go for it? I don't mind polishing out my hood sometimes, but again, it's all those small areas, and trying to get the job all done in a day, I just don't have a good area to do it either.
I then wonder if they could screw up the paint somehow, but hopefully not. Any thoughts? I sure never thought I'd need to turn to pros, but it would be amazing to go pick up the car, if it really came out gorgeous. Of course, a dealership may not really be "pros," but even a body shop recommended this dealer to me as having a good detailing shop. And...I would get to drive a Mercedes rental car while they worked on it, which is nice compared to an independent where I'd have to arrange my own rental car and someone to drop me off, etc.
