Desperately need a DETAIL!
Desperately need a DETAIL! So I searched through a few Craigslist ads and found a "professional" mobile detailer who just came over and put THOUSANDS of swirl marks on my car 
...its a long story blah blah blah...anyways, if anyone out there knows how to use a porter cable/rotary and wants to make some extra $$$ please hit me up...the car is an 04 black G35..I know I know...I sold the TA a few months ago :-/ But it looks like complete *** in the sun. Unfortunately I dont have the know-how or materials to get it done right. I've seen a few threads on here from time to time and I know some folks here have some great skills...thanks in advance everyone.

I used to go to a stereo shop near buy and on fridays 2 guys would come and do a full inside/outside detail for 20 bucks!!! And they used leave the cars super clean. Tobad they don't go anymore since it closed down.

Once you go black theres no turning back.
Once you go black... It's a kick to the sack?
Once you go black.... You'll be coming back.

I dont understand..why wait to remove swirls if you recently used a claybar? I've seen a couple of videos on youtube, including from Meguiars which said to clay before doing this...in any case, the paint is really smooth already, its like glass, just full of swirls.
Exactly. The paint on this car has already had all the contaminants removed, plus it's possible to accidentally cause more damage (as a claybar is an abrasive, despite what the package says). For a regular detail, you're supposed to go in this order (keeping it real simple):
Claybar
Scratch removal/polish
Wax/sealer

You guys are all confused. Clay removes all the crap that sticks to the paint such as tar and imbedded dirty and grim. If the surface of the paint is smooth as sink then dont clay it bc when you do clay it, It removes everything including Wax. If its rough then clay the entire car, use scratch-x or another swirlmark removal. Then wax it, I personally use Nano wax, Easy to apply and easy to remove. Then thats it unless you want to take the extra step and find a sealer like Zaino.
I was it with Nano then just dust it every day with a California duster and every 2 days use a Microfiber and Detail spray. Stays clean for 2 weeks min.
