I would do it but I'm in SA and it would probably take me a week or so. If I were to charge u depending on the thickness of the clear you would be looking at or around $50 an hour. So roughly around 1500 bucks or so

Nick Chapman has been looking to get out of it for awhile, dunno if he's still going.

Are we looking to remove orange peel or remove scratches?

He is. He's trying to stay in the correction stand point of things.

To the question of what I'm looking to have done:
I'm looking at getting the "orange peel" out......I'm pretty ****

Haven't purcased the car, as yet, and it will be an autocross mule too.
.......my previous ones have been dual purpose (show & shine /autocrossser)

I do buffing and waxing myself (pride thing) but just not comfortable with going to the extent of my post.

Thank you for the replies......
