Thanks guy.

Yes did visit detailing world but seemed to be all expensive posh cars that had been done, either that or i was looking in the wrong section ! Though i did see one fiesta mk5 being done.

What gets me with all this detailing malarky is basically there seems to be say 20 different machines available arranging from £50 up to £400, about 20 different mop heads, and then about 300 different polishes/waxes/compounds !

I just want something basically that will remove the swirls and give me a fresh finish to work with, and then something i can use once in a while to buff the car up, or as they call it on detailing world ' correction stage ' or something im getting too old for this car malarky
