that's not a bad price for a professional solution to the butchery the auto-wash did. I remeber when I was about 13 and mum's friend took her 2 week old car through an auto car wash and it left heaps of little scratches and dents in it. Since then I knew never to take a car through those auto-washers. I used to go to the manual washing places but I wash the brushes first. Now I have a bucket at home with a big sponge, an old sock, 2 chamois, amorall wash, meguires wet look polish, 2 different mild cutting compounds (rarely used, only to get scratches out or remove faded/discoloured paint) and a big roll of polishing towel. Oh I also have a can of hairspray in the bucket for the numberplates for after each wash, to protect them......
