buff/wax

i have orange peel on my car and swirl marks from previous owner going through cheap car washes. this new company opened up in my area that detail your car for $100 bucks(buff and wax) these are the steps they use

1) DA sand 1500 grit.2)wet sand 2000 grit.3)buff wool pad clean cut. 4) buff med wool diamond cut.5)buff foam pad trizak. 6)buff foam ulrtrafine swirl remover. 7) wipe off with microfiber towell.


My question is

1. will it make the car look good?

2. is that a good deal?

3. Will they be able to fix the orange peel?

thanks for the help

id say stay away from them. profesional sanding job costs $1000s and takes about 40+ hours, no way they will do good job for $100

As exceldetail suggested, its a method used for headlights to remove 'yellowing' and at about the same price ($100 = approx 1.5 to 2.0 hours lab + mats)

Let's say they do an okay job. these steps will cut the life of your clearcoat waaaayyyyy down, probably at least half of it will be gone.
