if you know how to proper wash and use an orbital polisher, then you can do it with just $250 for parts, everything else is labor and time
wash, decontaminate with clay bar and iron x spray, dry car

polish pads and your favorite polisher I use sonax finisher compound, don't need any hard cutting, just final stage for me because my gt3 is brand new, took me about 2-3 hours to do whole car including taping up all plastics or taking them off

then spray and wipe all compounds and oils off with alch/distill water mixture
applying ceramic coating, I did little research and get sonax instead of other brands because i use sonax products on my 1M 8 years ago and like it.

take time watch few tips and such, which is what I did,
I did complete detail and paint correction on the GT3 and clear bra the full front myself, no help lol just take time. Not perfect on the hood, but the full fenders and bumpers is good because took my time.
for you is just final polishing to get fine scratches and minor things, then apply ceramic coating your self, easier than you think.
cost for you would be $300 and few cases of beer
Have that $1400 left over for other mods lol
