No Offense to Detail USA or their employee`s so here goes my rant

Exterior Restoration (machine polish) 4 Step Process
2 door vehicles: $150
4 door vehicles: $170
small sport utility vehicles $190
large sport utility vehicles: $210
Service time: 3 hrs. to 5 hrs.
When your vehicle`s surface has damage that is deeper than the outermost surface, it will require machine polishing to repair the damage. The only way to restore the vehicle finish without color sanding is with a four step restoration process; 1)clay, 2)cut, 3)polish, and 4)wax. We begin with the clay treatment described above in the Custom Exterior Detail. Next, we use Meguiar`s TM 1 & 2 paint cleaner , a wool pad, and variable speed polisher to gently remove the damaged paint and oxidation. The Meguiar`s TM 1 & 2 is designed to act as a cleaner over a short period of time, reducing its cutting effect time. The finish is then hand glazed (or machine glazed if needed) with a soft foam pad and a product designed specifically for the finish at hand. This product is used to fill in the finish and make it shine. Lastly, we use the Meguiar`s TM Carnauba Wax for protection. It is important to remember that anytime a car is polished with a wool or foam pad there may be visible swirl marks (especially on darker color finishes) once the polish and wax wears off. Wax or glaze can be used to fill in the marks.

That last line scares me. Anytime a car is polished with a wool or foam pad there may be visible swirl marks.
I am sure the business is good and all but I don`t think I`ll be taking my car (when I get one) there.
