Dang son, that is hot. If you weren't so far away I would definitely have you do my car. It needs buffed pretty bad, the dealer didn't do it before I got the car, and theres scratches/nicks all over it that I can't stand.

sometimes the dealer can make the problem worse....ive seen pics of people's cars after they took them to the dealer and they put some nice halograms into them....maybe you need to make a road trip lol

depends on what you want done...if it is a full detail it takes me 8 hours not including a couple of quick breaks....exterior only is goin to depend on the paints condition....if i had to guess i would say anywhere from 3-5 hours to do it to my standards. that includes a wash clay polish and wax
