Sounds like you need a polish. There's a couple of detailers on the board, but this will run you a pretty penny, as someone will actually have to flatten your clearcoat.

depends on what you want done; how much clear is actually on the car. Depends on how deep the scratches are. If you just want to cut and polish you can do that. Personally I don't guarantee anything that requires wet sanding. If I don't know anything about the paint, coats etc. one best play it safe and just polish the car. there are products which hide swirls. Be prepared to leave the car for a day because a proper job will take that long. Especially black!!

I would recommend Zach. He's not going to charge an arm and a leg, and he's good. I honestly don't know if Zach does this anymore. I haven't seen his work lately.

Zack (W2Wdetailing / Zackman17) has been banned for quite some time.
If he talks to people face to face like how he posted/spewed online, I don't see how he's still in business or still has all of his teeth.

I've met with Wes and he is definitely a good guy. Hopefully he will polish up my car soon.

I do detailing and while it takes quite a long time from start to finish, I personally don't charge as much as my competition but that's only because I don't do this full time.
Depending on the defects you might need as little as a one step polish or maybe two steps. Anything more really and your looking into light wet sanding and some random isolated scratches might be too deep to remove.
