It took me two days to do the paint correction on my car when I first got it.

Got to pay to play.

I dont think my car is in bad shape, it only has 67k miles 32 of which it has been washed by hand, not driven in rain or snow, and kept in garage....was pretty much brand new

I am only looking to do the usual 2-3 stage buffing, clay bar, etc. Plus the car is half the size of e92. I have done 1 stage buffing myself once and it took me 30 minutes with machine and professional 3M wax. Unless you sand and repaint the whole car, I just dont see how it can take 10 hours.
No offense but this comment proves you have no idea what you're talking about. Putting on a coat of wax is one thing. Proper polishing is another.

Hadley is right, it could take upwards of 30 mins just to do 1 round of polishing on a single body panel.

no offense taken. i dont know what i am talking about. i only judge by what 90% of detailer do in my area. they all have the "menu" and most price i have ever seen in like 15 years is $150 bucks. some of my buddies use detailing services and they never heard of $350-550

I drive over two hours to get my car to Rick at Unique. He's that good. His shop is like an exotic car museum, as well. It's filled with customer's exotics and show cars that he's working on, fun to take a look around when I drop off my car. I reccomend Unique.

I found that "gray brothers" in newton ma offered excellent service at a fair price. I had hard water spots on my car that many pros told me I couldn't get out. The brothers took about 9 hours and removed almost every spot. They do most of the high end exotics in our neighborhood, and people around here do not accept anything other than the best. Check them out on Facebook. I paid $210

So I got some shit on my car (acid from tree leafs as I was told) and I am guessing I need paint correction. Rick at Unique seems to be busy, anyone else can do a good job for decent money?

Anyone heard of these guys: https://craftdetailing.com/ ?
