Since the UK weather has been turd for weeks I viewed this car 3 times and picked it up the 4th time on an overcast day. From Evans Halshaw.
Three days later the sun is out and omg!
I'm normally a person who uses SRP and EGP and lives with light swirls and stuff, but starts with a good base (ie, your average car) and does 2BM.
I've never had a car that's been buggered up like this before so I'm completely new to it all. I'm not a picky person but this hologram issue is like vandalism to my paintwork.
I'd happily pay to have it fixed, but is this something I can do myself with a DA and appropriate mild products/multiple passes over the next few months? Spend some money on kit and learn?
Or is this best to put £350 aside and pay to have a pro get it right and then stick to what I usually do?
We had a brand new Fiesta ST a few years back and after 2yrs 2BM I was still very happy with minimal swirls, so I'm of the mind that if I pay for a really nice job I won't need it doing again... or is it something anyone can get good at with mild products and a DA?
I'll be honest I have more money than free time right now so maybe paying a pro is best...
I'm not after perfection, I'm happy enough with some swirls and stuff... but will fixing the holograms mean fixing everything? Or can the holograms be taken out quite easily vs general swirls?
Would a mobile detailer do this in a day? Or is it a job best done indoors?
Many thanks
Dave
