Hello all. I have been a long time lurker but never posted. I have a little bit of a problem. I recently had a few small dents removed from my 2002 Black GTI. Well the shop that did the repair work is thought of highly by many people where I live.
Well the problem is, when I picked up the car it looked good but it was also late in the afternoon and the sun was beginning to set. When I pulled it into the garage I saw tons of nasty swirls/scratches in the original clear coat. I took it back the following monday. They said they couldn`t buff it due to the paint being fresh. I said but what about the original paint, which you shouldn`t have touched. They tried to fix it 3 times with a rotary buffer. Every time they just half assed it and called it good.
Well the last time they tried to pawn off the damage on me. There reasoning was wouldn`t the fresh paint be more damaged than the original if we scatched it. Because the only time it would have happend would have been the wash.
Long story short, I have a PC and am prepared to fix there screw up, if I can. What SMR/Polish do you all recommend for very deep clear coat damage. I don`t think it is into the color. I could go back and demand them fix it. But I would prefer not to deal with them any more. And get the word around about there customer service:argue . If I can`t fix it, then I will have another shop respray the clear. Thanks for any help.
