hey guys i posted some time before about inifniti having to repaint my drivers side fender and rear bumper due to LOT damage.

well i got the car back and when i shine the repainted panels at night i notice swirl marks and holograms. i know a polisher can hide these but how do i remove them for good so that the panels match the rest of the car

what product can i use that is applied by hand, i do not have a proter cable.



here are some examples of what i see:

i have a black obsidian coupe!!!

they also put wax on this fresh paint so im assuming a lot of the swirls are coming from a smudged wax or improper application

i dont want to brignt eh car back for personal reasons.

 

I would tell the dealership that you want this fixed.
If they can't fix the problem take it to a recommended
detail professional in your area and give the bill to
the stealership! It's a new car and there is no
excuse in it looking like that! (get pissed)

 

can it be repaired by a detailer though?

 

yeah it can. they'll polish it... you'll lose some clearcoat but that's the only solution when you get swirls.

 

The picture that you posted is indicative of damage caused by polishing. I've seen many cars on Dealers' lots with similar damage. It's probably caused by an inexperienced guy with an orbital polisher. I'm not certain that it can be removed, but it definately can be minimized with a good wax and polish.

I'd definately try the polishing route before I let those guys hack away at my car with an orbital polisher.

 

it can be removed with a porter cable and the right products.mine was just as bad and i used the menzerna powergloss,intensive polish and finally final polish II and i got 95 -98% of it out.

you def will not get anything like that out by hand,and i would not let the dealer touch it.

 

zaino

 

+1...def stay away from the dealer except for you handing them the bill for getting it fixed somewhere else.

 

you meant rotary

 

most of that stuff can come out w/ some zaino. try z-pc first then a coat of z5 followed by some z2 and it will look like new

 

I use Zaino as well.

Take a look at these guys. Their work is incredible and you can purchase their products online.

No I actually meant orbital polisher as I originally posted. Here's one example of many that you can purchase:http://www.autosportcatalog.com/inde...id=601&sc=3364

 

Even with a heavy cutting pad, it is pretty much impossible to hologram the paint with a random orbital.

 

There's a BMW Dealer near me, BMW of Towson, and I saw at least six late model used cars on their lot recently with halogram damage, and I'm 100% certain that all of their prep guys use orbital polishers. I don't believe that management would trust those guys with a rotary polisher.

 

anyone know any good detailers in brooklyn
