Default Poishing out swirls? DIY or get bod in...

Pretty happy using the machine polisher, just don't have a foam head for fine cut compound, or the compound for that matter...
so just bought a nice back car thats been attacked in parts by our fellows from eastern european origin by what looks like those squeagy things anyhow woud you get your own stuff from the paint shop, or get a bod in...
and does anyone know a bod whos good with the polisher to get the scratches out... don't want tobe paying stupid £££ either.. and I'll probably want to do the whole car, said car being HUGE; with some imperial hand glaze also...

any help appreciated...

Valeting services available

Full machine polish to be negotiated depending on severity of paint damage

See pictures of Steve Jackson's 22B and Scott's engine bay valeting for previous work.
