It's hard to say if you can correct that with a PC but I'd give a *tentative* "yes". At the very worst you might have to re-wetsand with 3K Meg's Unigrit and then use the most aggressive products viable for PC use, and with 4" pads. Either Hi-Temp Heavy Cut or a mix of their Extreme Cut and 1Z Ultra/Extra oughta get out 3K sanding scratches, but you'll need a follow up with something milder. But again, don't try this with larger pads, you need the 4" ones when using such rotary-centric products as the Extreme Cut.

But IMO if you can find a competent pro you'd probably be better off letting somebody with experience (and a rotary ) handle this.

Lesson: never give anybody "the benefit of the doubt" when they botch up something that they do for a living. "Pros" are supposed to be competent and if they don't get it right the first time that's usually a clue...at least when it comes to detailing.
I didn't pay them. They'll be lucky if I don't make them pay for fixing it. I hit it with an orange cutting pad 7" and Menzerna high gloss compound- no dice. It's better but I made 3 or 4 passes and it still looks like a train wreck.
