An elliptical polisher, plus a range of pads, plus a low abrasion compound and finally a decent polish will set you back about £200. I use a Poorboys machine and compound followed by Mer polish and get very good results. Presumably you already have some good wax for a final protective finish. The job will take half a day approx, if you've fucked up the paint all over.

Aye, it's all over.
I know it's an investment and all, but I think I'm better off paying somebody for this.
I'm annoyed enough, I'll likely be more annoyed when it's not worked out for me and I've splashed all the cash, my body aches and then I've wasted a valuable days leave!If I can get it all sorted for £200 I'll be happy. I was planning on getting this done in the future anyway, I may have just accelerated it.

Now you are opening yourself up to a whole world of arguments! ;)
Is there no wash and prep with something like a clay bar. Personal favourite is the Bilt hamber clay bar.
@yeahdext Wasn't clear, sorry, was talking about money spend on equipment and products for car detailing. Then there is the time to actually do the work.
There is a lovely satisfied feeling when you clean a car,

As much as it takes to get right. What am I talking here? A pro spending a day on it?
Tbh nothing feels deep i.e I can't feel it with a nail, so I presume a machine polish will sort. Then I'll have to just pay a person to wash it for me in future. Perhaps then I can call them my valet.
The crux of this all is; I need to get an outside tap installed. This is why I went to the garage and after taking a verbal bashing from the father in law last time I was there about my use of car washes I then thought the manual wash would save me. Alas...
