Just had my my car detailed. 07 350Z Looks worse than before all types of swirls and hazing on the car now. Stated that they clay polish and applied Zaino. Detailer stated car looks good. I think not. I have to get it redone but i am not going to take it to the same detailer. How long should I wait. Car looks really bad. How can you tell if the clear coat is damaged.
This has been a real nightmare. Any help would be great

Posting on another forum, eh? What you need is to get in touch with a professional in your area. If you tell me your location, I can refer you to someone that does quality work.

IIRC Totoland Mach is in that area. Let me find his info and I`ll update my post.
EDIT: There`s no email listed for him so what you can do is search his user name (Totoland Mach) and send him a Private Message with a link to this thread and ask if he would be willing to help you.
He`s located in Overland Park, KS.

Gebster,
I know how you feel. It can be a bad feeling.
Sounds like your detailer didn`t take his time or perhaps complete the final 2 steps.
You don`t have to wait. Your new detailer will need to start from the beginning by removing whatever wax or sealant is on there. No claying. If no scratches (and only swirls and haze) he can focus his 3 hours on polishing the heck out of it.
If money is no issue there are guys on this board that can help you. If you spent $175 for a bad job and money is the issue, call the guy back. Tell him you aren`t happy and would like him to redo the entire car this time focusing on polishing rather correction. He won`t screw up the clear coat. Only birds and acid rain can do that!
PLEASE let us know what comes of this.

I`m sorry to hear about your dilemma but if you paid for a service that is unacceptable, you should have them correct it first. At least give the guy a chance to make a bad situation right.

After reading what happened, I would not trust this outfit to "make it right". They messed it up and didn`t even admit that it was a poor job. ("Detailer stated car looks good"). You deserve your money back but that will not happen.
After a few threats to get your money back (it might work), I would move on to a quality detailer and consider it an expensive lesson.
JMHO.

I agree. He may just make it worse.
