I put up a wetsanding DIY a long time ago, I will re-post it if you guys think it's a good idea. For the most part it was well received but some guys thought it was a bad idea for the same reason redlude97 mentioned.

if you take your car to get detailed
will they polish and remove the swirl marks as well as apply a sealent or wax?
i need to do alot of work on the paint inlcuding a few touch up spots in the near future
I do not own a CP so I wont be able to do much
but i could clay the car and apply a sealent....which is why i wanted to know what 4* UPP or Acrylic Jett are?
thanks

Yes a detailer can compound the car to remove the swirls but you will pay extra for this optional service. You will want to make sure they know what they're doing and you're dealing with someone you can trust.

Hey thanks for the very informative posts. I wash and wax my car once in a while but only recently stumbled upon the whole claybar, polish, and other finish touches.

Also, on average, how long does it take you to wash/wax your car? I usually wash my car once every 3 months [which is awful I know]. I still have some perfecting to do with my car washing procedure.
