A huge mess. Buffer in the wrong hands.

I have a library of photos from cars that are run through my shop. Thought I'd share a major repair from last winter. It was a dealer car that their detailer attempted to fix. Looks like a wool pad and rotary buffer in the hands of a donkey to me. Fortunately I was able to save it with M105.

Yikes! What would cause that just a wool rotary and no finish down? Or incorrect pads in between?
 
Good save, the sad part is if they took it back to the dealer , they would of tried the same thing that installed the swirls to get them out 😂😂😂😂

Rotary polisher, dirty wool pad, and bottom of the shelf quality compound all in the hands of a donkey.

FIFY :)

WOW! I can't say I've ever seen a job done that badly before. Can't imagine the owner picked it up and didn't say anything to the other shop. Probably LOVES you though.

Yikes! Makes me wonder how much clear is left.

Car was a total repaint. Could see tape lines & build up around doors and edge of panels. Believe it or not, the hood had the deepest damage - the rest of the car cleaned up with M205 on a hex logic white pad, generally after 1 or two complete passes.

Few more photos from this nightmare car. The reflection shot is the hood!

Two things I find to be incredibly amazing.

1. The detailer actually thought it would be okay to give someone a car that looked like that.
2. The owner of the car didn't take the dealership to court or get a new car with fresh paint.

I wonder what did he have to say for himself.

SMH.
