This might be of some use: clicky

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Have a look at their write ups (in The Studio section I think) and the praise on the DW site.

Polished Bliss are exceptional and their attention to detail is outstanding. One of the best detailers in the UK at the moment. Not sure how long you would have to wait as they always seem busy. Have a look at some of the write ups on DW of work they have done. Won't be the cheapest but well worth every penny IMO.

I can vouch for Polished Bliss. My brother had his RB320 corrected by them. The results were awesome. However the price was too!

I think Polished Bliss are highly regarded in the detailing world. I think Prism Detailing is too but not sure.

You sound keen wanting it sanded. If you just wanted it buffed to remove the swirl marks drop me a pm as I would be happy to do it. I'm pals with Stevie so you could ask him too?

I can vouch for Craigy123 on here he covers the c/belt and if needed he can use my unit if you have no overhead protection from the elements . failing that try Black Magic Detailing and mention my name  keith @ washshop http://www.blackmagicdetail.co.uk
