no its ok ill go with the black t-cut should do the trick

you want some form of polish dont bother with the colour st. Plain old polish will do it all that black st does is attempt to mask your scratches. Dont get too abbrasive though, alternately, go onto detailing world and ask

Try a bit of Meguiars Scratch X. If that isn't strong enough it'll need a machine polish.

Machine polishing is the only way to remove scratches and swirl marks. T. Cutting will look st as its to agreesive and worked by hand its worked to slow to give a uniform finish. I'm just having mine detailed to remove all the swirl marks and bird st damage and I know from having it done before that it will be immaculate and very shiney - no marks swirls etc. Costs a bit but is the only way to do it properly.

have a read on this site www.polishedbliss.co.uk/
to cover up scratches and swirls i'd use www.autoglym.co.uk/enGB/product-proddetail.asp?v06VQ=HD&Range=1
and then either a good wax or sealant until i could afford a proper correction/detail
you can borrow my megs g220 da machine, a mix of pads and sum mez polish .. if ur up for paying the postage to and from urself ..no strings

Was is the average cost of having a car detailed ? I've heard some really silly numbers before so am unsure of what I should expect to pay if I wanted it done.

£300-400. Varies according to part of the country, who you use and the products. Not to mention how much correction of paint problems they do.
