this is a professional body shop though, and they have Ford GTs and Vipers going in and out of there on a daily basis... i've got a friend that works there, and that's the reason i picked this place.
what should i do. it's 12:15AM, and i'm going to have to do something on or by 9:00 tomorrow morning. everything needs to happen tomorrow, including the 3M getting put on, because i'm going on a 6 hour road trip on friday, and NEED it on
help plz! |
First of all, I would postpone the clear bra until the swirl issue is resolved. Your 6 hour road trip is unlikely to make your existing situation much worse. Those swirl makes look to me like they were made with a regular rotary polisher. The only way an orbital would do that much damage is if used in conjunction with some pretty abrasive chemical paste.
I am not an expert on paint, but I suspect you will at least need a fresh coat of clear coat and perhaps new paint. Simply put, the existing "swirled" paint is not worth protecting with an expensive bra.
