so the past week i had my 2006 dark black range rover fully detailed. clayed, cut polished, sealent. tools used were a random orbital and a rotary polisher. this was done by a detail shop which has been car detailing for the past 20 years with plenty of experience. after getting my car back after it was detailed i looked up real close and noticed there were scratches all over the paint throughout the car. these weren't noticeable scratches from far away... when i looked at the car far away it looked amazing. i dont remember there being these scratches there before getting it detailed. are those scratches meant to be there from polishing? i mean after the car was detailed its not like there were swirl marks all over the place and the car looked like ****... from a distance the car looked unreal and it was extremely smooth to touch.
any ideas on how the scratches got there? | |

Either way, a quick pass of a good quality finishing polish ought to fix it.

any ideas on how the scratches got there? | Could be because the car is dark black, which is always harder to work with than regular black | |

Take it back to them, if you paid for light scratch removal they should honor that and make it right. If you do go back take a look at there lighting if you can, they may have seen a scratch free car inside, sometimes you have to check in the sunlight, of course with 20yrs experience they should have seen everything aand took care of it the first time, or informed you that some could not be removed and why. | |
