Default Good wax and polish anybody??

Hi peeps was just wondering if anybody knew of someone who does a great job polishing cars?
I am in burnham bucks which is next to maidenhead.
I would do it myself but would love the professional touch for the first time.
Thanks for all help

How bad is the paint work mate? swirls/scratches? Or do you just need a really good finish.
I have used some of the products from polished Bliss in the car care section and got good results. I was reading there info regarding machine polishing for beginners, very interesting! and on the strength of it I'm going to buy one in the summer and give it a go myself hoping to achieve mirror like affect.

There is slight swirls on the car so was hoping to get them buffed out, I have only had the car just over a 2 weeks so want the first to be done by a profesh with i think its called super guard? after that i may attempt it myself so will have a read.
Thanks Darren.

Superguard is crap.
A pro detailer will remove the swirls, protect the paint with a good wax and then set you up with a good washing technique so they do not reappear.
No need for this so called miracle preparations that dont work.

Well check out their work and recommendations within the Studio section for a good idea of the work these chaps can achieve

Lots of small scratch which show up in direct sun light or false light.Normally caused by bad washing methods. Have a look in the Car Care section mate.

What colour car do you have? With the correct products and care, you can achieve excellent results , even by hand.

Snowfoam is great this time of year as you get a largeproportion of muck off the car without resorting to touching it. " bucket method means you don't put the grit your mitt picks up back on your car, reducing swirls.
Dodo juice is a manufacturer of various detailing / cleaning products. Never used them as I have a silver car...Werkstatt Acrylic all the way
