I bought a 2004 Black GS300 and it has fine scratches and swirl marks, so I was thing of sending it to a body shop to have them polished out. what do you thing a fair price to have the whole car polished in the Boston area? I have gotten one estimate of between $250-300.

A better alternative would be to get a bottle of Meguiar's Scratch-X (costs around $6 at your local Wal-mart, Target, etc.) It does wonders in getting rid of those micro swirls and fine scratches. Plus, it's not necessary at all to bring the GS you just purchased to a body shop just because of a few fine scratches

faiello where in MA are you located? If your not too far I'm willing to hook a brotha up with a buff job. I most certainly wouldn't charge you $250-300.

Well I got it done this week and they only charged $200. The body shop did the polishing, then he sent it out for a complete detail inside and out. The best $200 I have spent so far on this car.

lexusk8 is correct......and SCRATCH-OUT works extremely well, too...and is cheaper then Meguiar's.

I've tried scratch out (it works temporarily) after you wash your car..scratch out comes off and your scratches are noticable again. I would think the best way to get your paint looking like new again is to just let a pro do his thing and wetsand the paint or do a compound polishing job with the neccesary buffer and what not.

Buy a PC and a bottle of SSR2.5 and you can get most of the scratches & swirls out...

Yep.

I have found Eagle One Nano Wax to be a quick alternative to getting those small scratches and swirl marks out as well. I use that pretty often as well. I dont hear that much about it though. Works good for me though.
