Black Sapphire Metallic

Ok so my paint is horrible the owner before me most likely did not know how to wash the car or just took it to really cheap places to get washed. I have horrible swirls and it just stands out whenever i was the car its just supper annoying. My question is how much would a good detail job cost to just get rid of the swirls and marks?

It is based on your expectation.

Are you looking for a paint correction or a temporary solution???

Temp
(Wash and Clay plus a one step with an AIO product)

4 to 5 hours - $160-$200

Paint correction
(wash,clay, compound, polish, wax/sealant)

12 to 16 hours - $480 and up

Well it depends on how long the temp is.. a few weeks no thank you if the temp lasts a few months then thats not a bad idea.

The temporary solution involves using some form of a filler in the AIO product to hide the swirls. This generally will last a few washes then the swirls will be back.

If you have some deep horrendous swirls like this........

........no amount of fillers will hide them.

Corrected

I generally recommend getting it done right (corrected) then learn the proper maintenance and prevent/minimize future defects from happening in the first place.
