OK i need help.
the shop that was responsible for touching up the car first (getting rid of the rock dents in the bumper, and some of the surface scratches on the car) was before i took the car to the installers for the clear bra. supposed to be one process, but two shops. shop 1 gets it ready for the clear bra, shop 2 gets the clear bra installed.
anyway i'm not happy at all with what shop 1 did. now it's not waxed, but that's because i didn't want it waxed... from what i've heard, all they do is remove the wax before putting the bra on anyway. all i wanted was the light scratches in the paint removed, in anticipation for the bra install.
here's what i noticed tonight:
see attached pictures.
so it's got the swirls
now i don't want to take it back to the first shop and tell them that i'm not happy with all the swirl marks, if the only way they can get rid of them is by waxing and buffing (it's pretty clear by feeling the finish that there's no wax on the car... is this why the swirls are showing so clearly?). at the same time, if it's true that the clear bra must be applied without the wax, i don't want it applied on top of a swirly finish. that's terrible.
i mean it really is. we went to eat tonight, and when we all came out of the restaurant, everyone i was with was like "DUDE - what happened to your car!?"... and it was only THEN that i really noticed and paid attention.
what should i do...
Oh and ignore the 'smudge' marks in the pictures... those were from me fruitlessly trying to 'rub them away'
