I know there are detailers all over the country but would probably use one recommended if they were local and weren't looking to pull my pants down as really the £100 late last year lasted one or two washes at most.
TBH, by the sounds of things, I agree with the others that it simply won't be done in a day unless you had a team of people working on the car...and by the costing, it was an enhancement detail rather than a correction detail.

Im not sure why people bother with fillers, as, like you have experienced, they don't last long at all!

IMHO, what you would need is;

Wash
Clay
Wash
Paint correction - something like Menzerna, Megs, Gtechniq (usually my choice of weapon)
Seal - Something like Gtechniq C1, Gtechniq Exov2 (optional), Fusso wax or if you wanted to be REALLY extra, you could use C1, and Exov2, then Fusso....the results are JAW dropping!

While your at it, seal the wheels up to!

I have a MG I'm working on at the moment which is getting the full audio treatment (iPad in the dash, boot build, door builds etc), some body work (front bumper repair and painting), and then getting a full detail inside and out...it has paint like your which is swirly at the moment...im sure I can sort that out...he was considering me detailing it before the audio work and I was like hell no, not with the saw dust that will be sitting on the car after lol!
