Brain dead for putting something on a painted surface more so by sliding it across the paint.
Good luck
For the record, I did
NOT say it needed a complete wet sand, cut and buff. I said we've seen many customers come to us who have been told that is the only recourse when in fact it is NOT. I have extremely high confidence that I or someone else could fix 99% of that with a rotary buffer, the proper pad & compound, and the requisite skill. The missing 1% is the really bad scratch on the wing, which most likely would benefit from some spot sanding.
Not too long ago we had a customer come in with some really bad defects on the hood of his brand new BMW 330i. A "pro" detailer wanted to charge him $300 to wet sand, cut and buff
just the hood. We showed the customer how to use a D/A polisher with M83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish and he fixed it himself. We charged him the exact sum of $0.00 and even fed him pizza in the deal.
