Question Jaguar Auto Spa?

Gaudin Luxury Cars, New and Used Jaguar, Fisker, Porsche, Las Vegas Nevada

Do you all think these services are worth the money? I have A midnight blue Jaguar S 4.2 and theres little scratches starting to come through from washes. Just want to get rid of those and I figure the Jag dealer would be the best to do so? What do you think?

I would tackle it myself first. Go to the detailing section of this forum and ask the pros. They'll guide you through the initial DIY steps....

I bought a Porter Cable DA buffer and McGuire's DA polishing system for about $200 and did my black car myself.

I am pleased with the results and now I have the buffer and enough material to do the car 3 or 4 more times.

This is true.. I would love to do it myself but im not comfortable using the polish as it takes paint layers off, I just really want it to be done right. My concern is the dealer will charge the arm and leg and then do a poor job

I was worried too, but the DA system makes it very safe.
