Re: WANTED: Paint Knowledge
i sounds to me as if...the person who rubbed out your cars finish did not complete his job. i would have the area re-buffed and then polished (black foam pad) to remove the compound swirls. i would have them try this route before repainting. i have use a product call..."plum crazy by malco" which works very well to remove swirls by hand. i would use this after the body shop completes their job then follow up with a quality wax.. the key to a swirl-free finish (not compound scratches) is to wash the cars cool paint in the shade and dry in the shade...the sun and dark color cars do not mix.
i had owned a detailing business for over 10 years and this would be my advise...hope it helps.
cheers.
