You can seriously ruin your paint if you don't know what your doing. --If the shop didn't do it after they painted your car (they should've), you're truely better off taking it to a professional detail place and having them do it for you... $100 is worth not f-ing up your new $2000 paint job...

well generally a body shop will do detailing work. I'd suggest taking it to a body shop because they do that sort of thing more often (dealing w/ fresh paint) while detailers know more how to make paint look better after it's old


then again, my 2 paint jobs on my cars consist of duplicolor cans and a stock paint job from subaru that i've washed 2x in the 6 months i've owned the car lol
