I took my mom to pick her car up from the shop last week and parked next to the car below. The body shop is in a different building but same area. These were taken with my iPhone from my truck

I don`t know if you can tell but the white residue below the rocker panel is compound residue. That`s a great job my friends. When the person finished using the rotary and stood back and admired their work I`m sure they felt proud.

Buffer trails is what that is, next step would be a lighter cut polish with a PC and that would start to work the BT out. In other words he`s done half the job so far

I agree it looks terrible, no doubt. But how do you even know that was something the body shop did? They could have even only repaired/painted the other side?
Its the manager/owners resposibility in how the work is done and leaves. Workers pretty much do what they know and are told/taught.

Moms car was on the other side. The whole car looked that bad. It`s possible that they didn`t repair the car and it was there for something else... But seeing the compound residue made me think they did paint work on it.
