Luckily the majority of paint marring, such as this, is actually quite easy to correct, once you have the right cutting polish and pads. I will be having a look at this once we both have time to meet up and I will post up a full thread on the correction, if Tim is prepared to trust any detailer ever again tbh!!:dead:

I'm not sure, I haven't managed to chat to him this morning.
Just to point out, unfortunately, as stated in a previous post, these companies should know what they are doing. People, who do not have a knowledge of car detailing (most of the general public let's be honest), are not going to know what is required when getting rid of swirl marks, or even know what they are.
We all know that to create a smooth surface on paint, you sand it. I really hope this is not what they have done and they have just mopped it badly. But I cannot comment as I do not know the full story, so will be acting on a car that has incredibly bad paint work and needs seeing to, just as with any other car in a bad state from washing with a sponge.
Let us also not forget that Black + Sun = very obvious marks! So the pictures are bound to make it look ten times worse.

Yeah darker colours do show marks worse than others.. mine shows up like f**k . My mate has a silver olop (polo!) and you need decent lighting to be able to see the marks on his whilst mine are visible under normal light.
I actually thought the other day I had no swirl marks
, until the light went down a bit and I look at it under my driveway floodlight!

F'uck me fella, that is awful. Very true what Jamie says, the combo of black and sun always bring up marks. I'd most certainly be going back and causing a massive scene though, looks like whoever has worked on it really didn't have a clue. Hopefully Jamie, or someone else on here will get it sorted and looking good for you again!

have you got 3m stuff?i know nothing about menzerna apart from its a t**t to use in the cold lol i suppose it is rather fucked up to be honest, maybe something in between to bring that down to a finishing level initially. ive not seen anything as bad as that ever, not even when i started using the buff on my mas car...quickly twigged on what the problem was though.
heres a though....whoevers fixing it, do have the bonnet and show them the difference.make them think twice about offering this "service"

Ali seems to like the 3M because of the finish and the price, Pete. Not tried it myself but the finishing compound is on my "next week list", since my Menz FF is running low. Have sod loads of IP left and love it, so, so, so much better than the Megs 80/83 twins!
That is a good point, Pete. Tim will have a full write up/pics to go with the service as usual from me. If he chooses to take things further, i.e. a refund, then I would suggest a blatant 50:50 shot of the bonnet would serve nicely!

o my
what a state
effectively the same thing.
No even close son. Buffer trails are caused buy pellets who shouldn't own rotary's. Swirls are unavoidable. Minimising them through proper washing and dryin is the key.
