The jobs some of the detailers do are brilliant, your car looks great, its something I would like to get done, but it is expensive and it can be difficult to keep it looking that good, it is so easy to inflict light swirls!

Looks great! I am hoping to find some time this weekend to devoting some rather overdue TLC to mine.

That's why you get a ceramic based coating on afterwards, then it lasts for years, protects the paint against UV and damage and means you can wash and clean without swirls.

interesting, to be honest I have very little knowledge on ceramic coats, I will have to read into these!
