I think he's asking right around $18k, but you'd have to confirm that with him. He may be a little cheaper.

Looks AWESOME! GOOD work! I can't believe you got the paint looking like that again!

I should really bring my car to you. However, it looks SO bad (inside AND out) that I'm embarrassed to have you work on it. Do you base pricing on size or condition or a combination of both? I have a black four door '01 Honda Civic EX. The paint is SHIT.

Price is based on the current condition of the car, and how good you want it to look. I can do as little or as much work as you want. Totally up to you.

Bring it to me, I'm sure I've seen worse that your car.

I'm sure you have but to know that you will see it is embarrassing regardless. Once I get some cash saved up I will definitely hit you up. I plan on driving this thing until the wheels fall off. I want it to look decent again.

Honestly, it will take a serious amount of work to remove swirls and scratches with the machine that you bought. You can find a used DA that will do everything you need for just a few bucks more(I actually have 1 used machine left for sale).
