What do you think....?

[The Boosh!]

got a bloke tomorrow to come and look at my paintwork...

its in generally good condition - bar the odd scratch (usual )....

the main thing i wanted to get ride of was the swirls on the paintwork.

dunno how they got there - they dont look bad or are that noticable but they are there and can see them reflecting off the sun...

he is gonna quote me when he's seen my car but what rough price do you think it should be? more than £40?

cheers

Do you mean he will be PC'ing it??

Think about £70 is Average on here

 

[The Boosh!]

dunno what PC in is?... would u say that its worth the money though?

 

[MillerLight]

what does PC'ing mean btw. i know what it does/do, just dont know what P.C stands for. paint correcting/cleaning?

 

[Coby.]

Porter Cable... Its the machine that is used, There are Porter cables and Rotary Machines which are used when needing to Remove Swirls Etc.

 

[theduck]

depends on how he is going to rectify it. But yes, more than £40

 

[Beef-Mc]

If it's a full service includiong swirl removal with a PC then expect to pay anything from £100 upwards.

 

[FlameR]

to PC a car he'll have to prep it, i.e. washing, claying etc...so I reckon 80-120 quid

 

[The Boosh!]

well do you think its work doing? dooes it make that much of a difference?

 

[theduck]

only you can decide if its worth doing. Car should look like new again if done right

£40 is dirt cheap, a local Polish place wiping over some crap polish which won't really do anything will cost you about that - for a "proper" paint correction £100 would be a fairly reasonable price, some of the guys who do it for a living charge a hell of a lot more than that though. Still good value for money though considering how long it takes to do properly and the materials and skill needed.

Even on a car with minor swirls they would still have to, normally:

Wash
Clay
Wash/wipe down
Machine polish (2 or 3 stages)
Seal and or/ wax

And that's not even doing stuff like cleaning and dressing plastics, tyres, arches, engine bay, interior etc...

as the man says, it is really worth doing if its done correctly, ***awaits before and after pics from brand***

 

[Brand86]

ha they are all on my laptop...will try and get some shots later although mainly after shots I have to say!

Trust me though - you get what you pay for!
