Depends how intense you want to go, no doubt you could pay £200 for a good polish & hoover.

Personally i'd spend £200 on a polisher & materials and do it myself, all the info needed is online, plus we all like cleaning our cars, taking pride in it.

I must be the only one to not be impressed. Quick wash, polish and wax can achieve the same results and flat paint.

Yep. You can get it 90% there and it will look great, drive it a mile and it will get dirty. Im all for paint correction but not at the rate some people do it in this climate. Iv still not washed my S in 3 years. Still shines. Just... :lol:

Also my strange experience whilst watching The Shining. Many years ago, still living at home, parents were out round a friends, i had been down the pub earlier for a few jars and was in bed flicking through the (what was four) channels thinking "not much on tonight Lloyd (my name)" to myself. No point watching the Shining as the VCR was recording it downstairs, so i carried on flicking through the channels almost dosing off. Almost asleep, i happened to flick back to the Shining to Jack with his head buried in his hands. He slowly raised his head, staring out of the TV, pulled his eyes down with his fingers, moved his hands away, smiled and said "Hello Lloyd!". At this point i shat myself. Jack was talking to me through the TV!! He then said "a little slow tonight, isn't it?" which is exactly what i was thinking whilst flicking through the TV channels just seconds earlier. Then he burst into an evil laugh as i frantically pinched myself in the belief i was possessed by the TV and an evil Jack.
