Yes, you can really do a lot to enhance your finish with Clay Bar AND you can dull it too and leave flat spots. I'm not great with those light grit products and if you live near a big city and have access to a detail shop or high end body/paint shop, I would recommend having them do it. Personally, a blind man would be glad to see the orange peel in my H3 paint and I don't even notice it. I do know the luster and shine has held up well and I should have foregone my styling prejudices and bought front mud flaps to protect the rear wheel flares. My guess would be around $400 for a good professional clay bar or paint detail job - this is one of those things that the more expensive the car, the more expensive the charge I've found, regardless of the total labor involved.
