This one in particular was about $500. I charge hourly, so the price can vary per car.

its a detail supply shop, off of 118th ave in st.pete. they carry blue ribbon,mirror glaze, hi-temp, and all the cleaning products you'll ever need. His prices are ok, but they are still a little higher then what you can find online. But then again you pay shipping for online orders.

I actually have a sole Meguairs supplier that I get very good prices from. If I order online its usually from Autogeek, and they are in FL so its overnighted for free.

Saw this on autopia. I didn't think the trunk lid was going to come out as well as it did. Good job.



Question. I have slight swirling on my car as it is. Do you think the meguiars G110 with a meguiars Softbuff foam cutting pad and using meguiars swirlx is enough to get light swirling out? Or is a DA only for finishing work? I'm hoping i don't have to use a porter or flex just to do slight correction.

Here is what I would recommend. Use the G100, get the 2.0 yellow and black foam pads as well as some M205. Use the method I posted(minus water) with the black pad first, this should get rid of almost everything..if not go to the yellow pad. this should get a pretty decent result for you! good luck!
