I have one car I would like to detail and then Opti-Coat and forget it. It is covered in swirl marks and has a couple spots of light scratches and a small spot of transferred paint that the dealer said "was too much for his guys to get rid of without going too deep" I'm sure it can be fixed, but I don't blame him for refusing to put $200 of extra work into a car that was not going to net much profit.
Anyway; I have no buffer, no pads, no abrasives. My fiance's car wouldn't benefit a whole lot from being babied like this, and I don't know anyone else who would want to use all of that stuff after me. While I'm handy, I've never done this sort of work before.
Is it worth it to buy all that I would need in order to remove the scratches and swirls, buff, polish, etc. (going the Harbor Freight route), or would I be better off paying someone to do the work for me since I will put on Opti-Coat afterwards?
Thank you,
