I've changed my wash technique now to include a snow foam pre-wash (Gyeon Q2M) so am hopeful that the car will be dirt-free prior to touching the paint for it's final wash.

I've done mine myself using a Rupes Bigfoot 21 dual-action polisher and Rupes polishes.

This time I only used the Rupes Keramic Gloss fine polish and finished with a coating of Waxaddict Vortex wax, which you'll see, if you follow the link (www.waxaddict.co.uk/vortex), is a ridiculous price, but WOW does it give a glass-like finish!
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I will have my detailer do similar work to my 996 after I purchase and have the body kit installed. What sealer did your detailer use? My guy uses a ceramic top coating. It adds about 2mils of protection.
$600 was the price. Its hard to before and after because i never took any close up shots of the car before. well worth the money... especially on a black car.
I have a black car and it desperately needs this done. Black cars have these swirl marks, just about no matter how we clean them.
Im looking for a place in Chicagoland to do this, but everyone I talk to says to try a local dealer here for $259. I�m scared to do that. I don�t think I�ll be happy.
Murphyslaw1978....look for a shop that does automotive films and ceramic coatings. They must do a good prep job on paint before they can apply these things....if you just want a good detailing/paint correction without ceramic coating, I am sure they can oblige.
Milne is white color and will never achieve that wet look regardless of how I polish it. However, it is the easiest color to maintain.
Yours is lovely though and it shows all the hard work put into it
Not a fan of black because it never looks good if not maintained...However, once its corrected I really don't think anything beats it! REally beautiful car!
Luigi, that looks amazing! I have a black C2 and am looking for similar treatment by a good shop in Southeastern Michigan. If anyone knows one, please pm me.
I've done mine myself using a Rupes Bigfoot 21 dual-action polisher and Rupes polishes. I did a full correction when I bought the car 8 months ago, but since then it's acquired more fine swirling which is almost impossible to avoid on a black car.
I've changed my wash technique now to include a snow foam pre-wash (Gyeon Q2M) so am hopeful that the car will be dirt-free prior to touching the paint for it's final wash.

A perfect paint correction and a ceramic coating gives excellent results too, and the finish is more durable than a waxed finish BUT, it WILL eventually swirl and then removing the swirling is not possible with conventional polishes. Not a problem if you're not keeping the car more than 2 years or so, but it will be a problem for the next owner. Personally I love the process of polishing and waxing - it's a hobby. But I totally understand those who see it as a chore.
Here's some shots (sadly only taken with my phone (Huawei Mate 10 Pro) but you'll get the idea. There are couple of pre-polish shots showing the swirling which was only visible under bight reflected light - the car was actually in quite good condition beforehand.
