Maybe you can ask around and find a High School kid that wants to make some money.  For some hard but honest work....like polishing your exterior.  Pay him generously.  Maybe even worth it to invest in a power buffer with those lambs wool things.

 Just bought a '91 Carat. It has sat idle int sun and weather for two years.
You can imagine what that has done to the paint. It's dark blue, the
spitting image of of the Carat I used to have. Howerver this one needs
serious TLC. For starters it needed a new wngine harness. The old one was
fried. Melted and burt spot all over. I happened to have a spare and todays
efforts withbit paid off. Oil change, new,oil filter, new air filter,
coolant, brake fluid. The thing started right up, ran a little rough for a
while, but smoothed right out. More work on the body tomorrow.

A little secret!! This van has in it an engine with only 50,000 miles - the
last engine ever built by Boston Bob before he died.
