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.
Presumably you already have some good wax for a final protective finish.
Ermmm.......... 😇

Pay a pro to do it. A person with a machine polisher and no knowledge of how to use it properly can can very easily end up just damaging the paint even further to a point that would require a visit to a body shop and a hefty bill.
I know how to wield a polisher, but I’m no car detailing expert - I wouldn’t imagine paying a detailer to do it would cost much more than outlay on half decent polisher, pads & compound to try and do it yourself.

Definitely pay someone, but pay the right someone. I would go to someone who specialises in paint correction but make it clear what the budget is and if you want perfect paint or just good paint. Will make a big difference in cost.

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.
