Hi All,
I have a daily driver in for body repairs, after being rear ended. There are multiple deep scratches in the clear coat with "tails, on the back of a side mirror cover, that were CLEARLY not there when I took the vehicle in. In fact, the side mirror is not near the crash damage. I believe the tail patterns were caused by some sort of buffer with a bad pad or backing plate that skipped along the mirror cover. Look closely at the repeating patterns in the scratches. Please see the photo with scratches magnified. The body shop did send the car out for a wash and detail. The work was not done by any forum vendor or member. Please give me your opinion as to what may have caused this. Thanks. nd
