Hi,
I recently bought a certified pre owned BMW 550i in carbon black. The car is everything I was looking for but the previous owner decided to hide some of the scratches with BMW touch up paint by simply applying lines of paint on top of the scratches. As a result there`s lines of touch up paint that are thick and stick out as he applied too much and didn`t remove excess paint. It looks like a bunch of thick paint lines that stick out creating paint ridges on the car.
How screwed am I? Is this something that could be removed through compound and multi step polishing or does the fact that these ridges are thick prevent from being able to polish them off back to the profile of the original paint?
