Machine polish/paint correction - Bournemouth area?
Discussion
Anyone know of anywhere (detailers?) that can do a machine polish in the Bournemouth/Christchurch/Poole area (that they would recommend!)?
My recently purchased Golf was bought on a cloudy day and picked up on a cloudy day. It has since become apparent that it looks really awful in bright sunlight with very noticeable shimmery marks/streaks all over that up close look like light scratches. Having done some internet research it seems that such markings are commonly known as ‘holograms’ and can result from a variety of ways including bad machine polishing or dodgy car washing.
I'm not that fussy about the odd scratch, but it is bad enough that I think I want to get it sorted. It seems a properly undertaken machine polish could sort it out, but I have no idea what the going rate for this would be. I know that detailing can be an expensive game and I don’t want the full works, just some paint correction work that won’t cost the earth, so if anyone knows anywhere that might fit the bill I’d be grateful for suggestions!

Gets asked all the time. Luke, from LG Autoworx is the default answer.
He did a fantastic job of my Audi S4, which subsequently came 2nd in a show n shine a few days later!
I'm currently saving up to get him to do my black (and very swirly!) Civic

Thanks! I had seen the name, but wasn't sure if he was that local.
He's in Eastleigh, but I think covers Bournemouth. He will tailor the job to suit your budget. I had a full detail, inside and out, but a machine polish is cheap. danyeates said:

That's what I'm worried about!
No probs with the civic just let me know and we can sort something! 
If Luke cant help I'm just back tonight from a 2 day paint correction down in Branksome (where I have the use of a secure unit)
