Well worth having done, not sure of exact costs as my uncle works in the car trade and he arranged it for me.

The cost would vary depending on the Swissvax finish you go for... definitely well worth having paint correction and protection done on a new car. The correction uses different rubbing compounds to get the paint an even thickness all over so you get a brilliant finish. Paint on new cars done by machine can be poor so this will sort it. Protect it makes the shine last longer and water just glide off.

Nice pics Minda. Well worth getting done !
