Default Can anyone mop/machine polish my car? Please :)

In Leicestershire area? Willing to travel if not too far, and will pay obviously

Its a ST24 in state blue. 1998. Just showing its age, the arches have started to go on the back, and one of the drivers wings is dull, it looks nice when its wet but when its dry it looks like somones polished it with a scouring pad ive tried to hand polish it so many times and got it sort of looking ok, just the bonnet is the worst, wing, and its got stupid little scuffs and scratches all over it i cant get out, just want to get it machine polished before i get the bodywork sorted on it then i know what needs and what doesnt need doing
