When I saw this car i just started laughing, This Swirl job is almost borderline done on purpose, unless the idiot did it night in the complete dark. Either the way, I got a kick out of it & I'm sure someone else will too


    Holy ---- that thing is horrendous!!

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      Is it just me or do those trails/swirls on the rear panel kinda look like 'ghost flames' (gone BAD)?

      That 'thing' is just wrong.

        DISO is about 1/3 of my work and the dealership will not hire me. So I guess I just keep charging the higher rate.

          If they're contributing to 1/3 of your work, then I'd say they are hiring you. In a round about way...

            Re: DISO = The Dealership Installed Swirl Option

            I have a problem with my newly painted car. 3 weeks ago, my car got a respray as the paint had bubbles on the roof. They took 2 weeks to complete the job. When receiving the car, i noticed that the paint sink inwards and created many holes all over the car.

            So I send my car back to the workshop and they told me that they will fix it. 3 days later, I collected my car and the paint job seems good. However I always wanted to check the real condition of the paint once I reach home. There were lots of oil on the paint and I took quick detailer to wipe clean the surface. Soon I realize there were lots of swirls and got worried that it could be me inducing the swirls.

            But i got suspicious that they might be using glaze to hide the swirls. I took swirl X to remove the oil on the car paint and true enough, I not only see swirls all over the car but also very bad scratches. I was flabbergasted and deeply upset.

            I need some advice here. The workshop has agreed to give me a full refund as I told them that they are wasting my time.

            I suspect that the scratches might be caused by machine rotary buffer to reduce the initial holes. I am thinking of using my DA + UC to remove the scratches. However Im just scared to remove too much clear coat as they might have already remove some during buffing.

            Post 2 pictures below.

              Looks like they did not remove all of the wet sanding scratches. Makes sense as it looks close to an edge and they were probably worried of burning it. If it is indeed wet sanding marks, they can be removed.

                I saw a brand new black Audi S4 at the beach this weekend with this option installed. I vomited in my mouth a little.

                  i tried using UC + yellow pad and the scratches took a long time to remove. I thought fresh paint are softer and easier to remove.
