Hello everyone,
My car was repainted last year and they had to repaint the hood last month since the very brilliant painter left a line of about 4 inches of metal from the hood completely exposed, meaning there was no paint on it. Obvisouly I didn't pay anything, however they did leave me with some nice swirls:
Obviously these swirls were a result of them using an aggressive compound to buff out the wet sanding scratches, so I figured I would need the power of my Makita rotary to get the job done.
So I used some #83 followed by #80. One thing I need to state is that I did not use a Meguiar's pad for #80, I will need to purchase one soon. I used an 8006 pad for #83.
Here is the result:
As you can see it's much better than it was before. You cannot see it in the picture, however there were some minor swirls still remaining.
So basically I washed my car again today, clayed the hood and went to work again, this time using #9 since the swirls seemed very light. I wiped off the polish residue and it seemed like 99% of the swirls were gone.
I took out my car into the sunlight and I was very upset when I noticed that the swirls were still there.
I do not understand what happenned.
Under the halogen lights there was clearly a large improvement. I do not see how this could happen. I am very frustrated right now and I am hoping someone can help me figure this out.
Thanks.
