bunch of questions...i got quoted about 380 to have my moldings painted and front bumper fixed and repainted. is this a good deal? i got the quote from GT motorcars in gainesville. i then got quoted 145 to have the car buffed and liquid glassed. the reason im looking to get it buffed is becuase of the massive amounts of swirls on the car. ive heard that the buff and autoglass will only cover the swirls for as long as the wax stays on the car, but when it comes off the swirls will come back. the only way to get rid of the swirls is a wetsand right? i got quoted 700 for a wetsand. what would you guys recommend? the painting sound fair? should i do the buffing, wetsand, or use a product myself to do get the swirls out?

LG in Gainesville huh? Classic Car Cleaners over there by Continental Imports right?
I've see his work, I'm not impressed. His solution for everything is to wetsand and throw LG over it. He's LG because he's the distributer. Personally I don't think LG is worth the $$. Let me ask you this, can you feel the scratches with your fingernail? If not, then don't wetsand.
IF you can wait, come by our next BMWCCA meet. I can take a look at it in person and let you know what your options are. I think the next meet will be 10/18, 7pm @ Gators Dockside. We may get together earlier to try to finalize a local group buy on lighting before then. PM me or BimmerDude18 for more details.
If you're in a hurry, pm me with a # to reach you at and we can try to meet and I'll take a look at the car.
