Well my LS has great paint quality but after 7 years of machine wash has horrendous swirls
I have posted pics of it here before for zach to see
Professionals locally have quoted $900-$1500 for paint correction
A local friend here offered to give me a hand to see if we can make headway
So far we did the trunk and the results are looking very promising...
After full wash and full clay
Using rotary buffer lamb wool with meguairs diamond cut compound professional 2.0
Meguairs professional swirl free polish
Hard to get pics
But hood before

That's the beauty, almost anyone can effectively use an orbital. It takes a very skilled hand to work a rotary. Considering the quotes you've been getting you're definitely better off buying a machine and doing the work yourself. Heck you can get the Griot's orbital for under $150 from Amazon!
Congrats on your progress.

Products seem to be key (I realized that but never knew what to buy)
My friends help in guiding me with the products are helping
And of course 900$ saved is nice
I would say 99.7% of deep surface scratches all gone
Car has more shade of purple now tHan brown

VERY NICE! You must have a sense of accomplishment and feel great that you saved some money doing it yourself. As for maintenance, you just need to seal it every 6 months and add your favorite fast wax every 2 months or as needed. Adams is rather costly and lasts only a couple of weeks so I say find something more affordable and easy to use. You could even use Meguair's 20/21 every couple of months and be good until your next annual cleaning.
