this V applied rubbed in with a cloth - sponge applicator is useless - not sure how you spray it accurately either ? ...
after - first cleaning the seal,
for seal which window descends against I apply with a cloth poked in on a knife blade.

scrubbed outer tyre wall last night after washing car in anticipation of amazon delivery of sonax tyre dressing - looks like you can buy a dedicated brush for that, to get it into the grooves
in the absence of that will use a stiff small paint brush, toothbrush would take too long

same here
(although I'm not paint correcting my car)
if you need that done, i would think you would need to let them do everything from the beginning

Do it yourself. Just follow the instructions on the products.
Take your time.
Time is the issue, realistically it's a full day affair, pre wash, wash, rinse, decon, clay, polish etc etc on a 3 series sized car. Could do with a little bit of correction also.
What's all that likely to cost, £500? £1000? £1500 (inflation??)

Yeah I don't want a full going over, just to get rid of some water marks, might see if a friend can do it.
water marks or swirls ?
if water marks use a Quick Detailer
Water marks, I've tried all sorts, well a couple of products that were recommended, I think it needs more than that though.
could you upload some pics ?
Yeah, at some point, but that does feel like effort (currently in lazy mood). I think I used Koch Chemie or something on it previously.

I often do mine over a couple of days. I just wipe it over before starting again.
I have a da and pads with quite a few grades of polish, but I tend to cheat most of the time.
I use a product called Poorboys black hole, it hides lots of things.
Yeah, I've got too many "projects" on the go at the moment and washing the car seems like a chore I CBA with, let's see though.
Definitely needs decon, last time I washed it there was loads of iron **** on the roof etc.

I always have it in stock. Works well on dark paint. Really nice to use too.
