jay^ 1 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 if it costs less than a couple hundred dollars and takes less than 3 -4 hours its likely to have been an extremely poor job. The "cut&Polish" that these car cafe places advertise should really be stopped from using that term. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smac01 12 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 Hey mate - if you're worried about small paint imperfections, I'd look at this: http://prestige.finishing.school.nz/ Think it's about $900, so a lot cheaper than a wrap. You'd be pretty happy with the results too. I was expecting to pay abour $3000 for wrapping the entire car, and about $2500 for the wheels. I sent it for a detail and cut and polish, and more fine scratches apearred which really doesn't look that nice close up. How can I get rid of the fine scratches and swirls. My car has alot of fine scratches it is crazy how evident it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It needs to be taken to detailers that specialise in paint correction... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted September 17, 2011 If ALL you have is the coin for wrapping - then forget it. If you have the coin for wrapping and general maintenence then go for it! I'd get new wheels at the same time. Just to pull off the look properly. The other bonus about a wrap is that it will protect your paint from stonechips etc. Bonus! I agree! Seth from Car Folie posted some examples they had done of full car wraps and as i recall it looked really good. The bonus would be not having to do a "fad" paint job and then having to get it resprayed everytime you want something new...or going back to stock!! if that makes sense?
