I just don't understand body shops! Every one I talk to has a BS horror story. They just abuse the heck out of the cars they are suppose to be fixing.
So here's another one of those.
The only OEM paint on this car was the doors. So I had no idea what to expect.
All in all it wasn't hard to work on but on spot above the drivers rear wheel.
Waterless wash, Speedy prep towel and on to buffing.
M105, MF cutting pads and my good old Flex (I'll miss you my old friend. We fixed a lot cars together... tear)
Black Wax was the wax my customer picked out of my choices.
D156 on the glass
Looks good from here but wait....
Nice over-spray and abuse
The reflective properties just weren't present enough for this little beauty
So while this car is in the BS they just rub all over it with their pants as they walk around it? Sad, just sad and it gets worse.
Some normal swirlies
Here we have some random crud thrown on the car. Maybe from lunch?
I think the BS tried to polish this fender with a dog or maybe a pigeon. I can't exactly tell.
My favorite pic
????
the least of my worries
aaa, one spot they forgot to mess up for me
Well at least they didn't notice this car had rims or they would have try to clean them with there new putty knife.
I imagine them talking at lunch "enough messing up the paint now let's mess up the trim also"
Enough of those horrible pics. On to making this a beautiful car again
I did these little areas by hand with Meg's foam pad
3" pad to work the angles better
This is what M105 should look like after you've worked and area. No product left on the paint.
