OK so heres my story. my car is need of some serious help, i have the i guess usual swirls after washing my car for over a year now and never once waxing it but also i have like minor road rashes and chips and i HATE the way it makes my car look. yea when i wash my car it looks nice still the clear shines still but I notice the blemishes on the car and i want them to go away. so heres what i was thinking and wanted to know. should i just get a really good buffer detail on the car or do i need a clay bar or i heard of something new called sparkle or some **** some kind of gel they use thats suppose to work the same as a clay but its cheaper. i dont know **** about detailing so im asking. what i want to happen is someone use some touch up paint for the areas like the front where rocks from the highway jump up and chip the paint and for some reason the door handles have huge swirls under neath the handle i dont know what thats about. also when i got my car my ex-gf was like 5'2 95lbs so as she got out of the car in the winter in chicago the wind snatched the door and her and the door hit a parked car and dinged the edge and a small amount of paint came off and than the same **** happend to me a few weeks later on the driver door so i have an appointment with a paintless dent shop to get those removed for 170 bucks. after that is complete i really need my car taken care of so what do i need?

clay?
buff?
or gel?

anyone know a great detail shop in the austin area i would very much appreciative i know i rambled but thanks for reading.

man glad to know my tc isnt the only one that needs worked i had the paintless dent repair guy take my dent out of my hood taken out as well and i have no idea where it came from my dealership is painting my front and rear bumper because of gouges in the back bumper and little paint cracking underneath the plate and i figured i might as well have the front plate shaved its alot of money but well worth it its not my daily driver anymore so it shouldnt be to hard to keep it in perfect condition but i know what ur going through i am too good luck!

 

thanks man

You could start by buffing it, if you don't know how then I wouldn't attempt to do it because done wrong can burn paint. After buffing you apply the wax and use an oscillator. Car has no swirls after and shines beautifully. Detailing is what I do, I just need to do it to my own car now.
