Although, this would be done all by hand. . . I figured I'd have to use up my whole day off to get the whole thing done, but I've always been a DIY guy.

If there is someone that can do a full detail my car for around that much ~$100, I'd be willing to just do that.
I think you are looking at $250-$300 to find an enthusiast detailer to do that work. Really, your biggest cost is going to be the polisher and cost of labor. I am not quite sure how you are going to do paint correction by hand, but you can. You are going to have a lot of difficulty removing heavier defects by hand. At the $250-300 level, you can probably have most, but not all of the defects corrected.
