Paint Correction - Pay a professional or DIY

Hello all -



I have a two part question concerning polishing my vehicles. While I have incorporated a lot of the information/advice found here into the maintenance of my vehicles, I do not currently have the equipment needed for paint correction. So, on to my questions...



1) How much would you professionals charge for a paint correction only?

I would take care of everything else (washing, claying, applying LSP, dressing ect.)

The vehicle is a 2007 RAV4 in Flint Mica. There are NO major defects, holograms, buffer trails, ect. From what I can tell under halogen light, I only have light marring/scratches. I don't even see any swirl marks.



2) If I choose not to have the paint correction done professionally, will this kit (and Z-PC) be sufficient for minor paint correction?

I have a pile of care care products as-is, and I really don't want to start adding dozens of different pads and polishes to my collection. I enjoy keeping my cars looking good, but they are both daily drivers and I do not expect them to be 100% defect free garage queens. I am simply looking to remove light marring once a year from two vehicles.
 
If you live in Boca, professional detailing is the only way to go :)....



In all seriousness, though, you should definitely get the UDM in your case. For the same price as getting a pro to polish it out once, you will be able to maintain the finish for years. If your car was heavily swirled, I would recommend a professional. With only light marring to remove, you should be able to tackle it easily by yourself.
 
Definitely UDM/PC/Flex in your case. That light marring will be simple with a lot of products and different pads at your disposal.
