I just don't know what to do now....

2 weeks ago I spent a couple of hours and almost $75 on product to try to get the swirls and spider webs out of my 3 month old 2010 Red Yaris wax. Got alot of them out but I just don't have the upper body strength to do the whole rub rub rub.

Today I decided to stop at a new hand wax place I've seen and, after talking to the person, showing him the swirls and him telling me that they could, 100%, get rid of the swirls, I left my little Rosie with him. The cost was $75 which I'm not even sure is good or not but it was worth it for me.

A couple of hours later I go to pick her up and she is 10 TIMES WORSE THAN WHEN I LEFT HER. Plus, not even all the wax was out of the crevices and off of the black trim. I almost cried when I saw her, thinking of all the time it was going to take to even get her back to how she was when I took her. Thank goodness I didn't have to pay them a dime. He even tried to tell me that it was scratches in the paint, not the wax (then why was it so much worse than when I left her). He offered for me to come back and see them do it by hand but I didn't want them to touch her again after this.

My daughter thought I was nuts for being so upset but then you should see what her car looks like !!!

The guy tried to show me how well he buffed her up and told me that, no, they didn't need to ever change the pad on the buffer, "feel how soft it is".... UGH!!!

So I guess my questions is...since it looks like I'm going to have to do it to get it how I want it, is there a (resonably priced) buffer that can compensate for the fact that I don't have the strengh or upper body endurance so I can get these damn swirls out?? !!!!

Thank you,
Sherrie
