UK Paint Specialists Anyone?

My M3 is Jerez Black. With hindsight I would not have bought this colour but, hey. Anyway, the dealer thought they were doing me a favour by getting some monkey to apply "supaguard" or something and while they were at it they obviously attacked the car with a rotary polisher. The result is the dreaded hologram effect all over the place when clean and under sunlight or artificial light. I believe that this is fixable but does anyone know a good paint shop in the UK that can do this?

Speak to this Guy

He is mobile and covers the South East of England and is one of the best detailers around. He will have you loving the Jerez black.

Failing that, try KDS Keltek in Kent. He is very good as well, but workshop based
