A decent DA alone is over $100, and you'll still need a multitude of pads/chemicals. Around here we have professionals who give a solid polishing for under $150.

They also detail your car

But keep in mind that if you buy all that stuff, you won't have to pay a detailer every time some scratches show up. Thus, all that stuff pays for itself the second time you use it.

It can, and very well will for someone like me. I've let the husband know to get used to seeing my current baby. Notwithstanding a natural disaster or horrible wreck, I'll be keeping my Z until the engine stops spinning... by then I should have enough saved for a rebuild and FI

But that's up to the OP. It takes time, patience, and $$ to properly detail. For some it might be better to pay someone else.

I agree that there is an initial start up cost but I have shown through my videos that maintaining perfect paint is all about being preventive and not reactive. If you practice perfect paint touching methods, the cost of maintaining that shine is very minimal.
