Hey everyone, great site.
I have a black 98 Grand Prix GTP and it is covered in tiny white swirl marks. I have never done a proper detailing to it, I think anything I have done, has only made the finish worse. I have two weeks off work and I want to do a proper job. I well use as much time as it takes to do a good job, but I can only spend about $200 to do it.
Last year I spent about 6 hours on it using Mothers California Gold clay bar and Meguiar’s Gold Class wax, and it came out great, but I could still see all the swirls, and the shine didn’t last very long. I might have even put on more swirls.
Here are some pics of my car.

The last pic you can see how bad the swirl marks are. I also have a bad spot on the front of my car, like the clear coat chiping right off. See here(just the white spots, the rest is just dead buggies :o ) :

So if you were going to detail my car what would you do, what would you use if you had $200 to spend and what order would you do it? Btw I`m in Canada, so I would rather shop for this stuff locally, but I`m willing to buy it online. Where do you Toronto guys get your stuff?
My Interior is pretty bad aswell.

What do you guys use for tinted glass, and for leather?
Thanks
