Tempted for that, and to detail myself, as prices for a detail are ridiculous

for the same sort of price you can pick up the kestrel das-6 dual action which would be better for a novice but is still a good tool even to the pro's

More to the point, expectations to travel large distances for a lot of work for very little money isn't feasible.
However, as a noobie, look at a Dual Action polisher opposed to a rotary - easier to get to grips with and far less risk of burn / strike through.

That wasn't directed at you rich I meant in general, I could
Not justify huge amounts of money. I know what you do is worth the money all day long I've commented on loads of your updates

You wont detail your car though you will improve your paintwork but get nowhere near to the final product a detailer will achieve, thats why its there profession. Youll eventually realise this
ps as a noob, you will savage your paint with a rotary!
