Has anybody polished out a re-painted car and had it look way worse afterwards? I polished out a rear quarter panel that had been slightly repainted as a result of the body shop "blending in" the paint after they replaced the bumper.
Anyway, after I polished it, I noticed what has been described on here as "tiger striping", where you have patches of lighter and darker paint...ughh. It's a metallic color of course (silver).
I didn't use anything that aggressive..an orange pad and some Wolfgang TSR, and it was painted half a year ago.
I have to assume any crap work the body shop did has been sealed in with clear coat, right?-- or NO? Should I hit it with something more aggressive or will that make it worse? Because it seems like it did NOT look that bad until I polished it...
Edit:: It wasn't really noticeable until I pulled it out in the sun
