My dear god, I took my car to the chamio today, and was horribly shocked when I saw what they did to my car! I was so peeved that I just flipped at the people who did my car. They said that there was nothin they could do about it! I tryed to buff it out, but it is still there. What can I do to fix this horrid mess. I could only get it to look this good :down

One the flip side, I did get my door jams VERY sparkly:D

I still don't know what that is :(. Somewhere to get your car detailed? I'm thinking of the leather towel.. but anyway :down.



I can't believe they said there was nothing they could do. That would make me snap. I am definitely pissed for you..

There, thats what it looks like with the colour full, the camera just won't pick it up. Also look what I found on the hood.

And also, the chamois is a car wash place that washes it for you, and cost a fortune. My father just had to have it washed, so he went there.
 
i see some of it better in the new set of pix.



All the did was wash it? No machine used?



I would try a stong polish or mild compound with a cutting pad and see what happends.

That may be a halogram effect, but i am not sure just by looking at it through a pic.
 
Give a list of the products and tools (PC, pads) you have, this way we can create a recipe for you to follow. I think that is this easiest thing.
 
I know what to do. I would like suggestions as to what kind of products to use, since I only have off the shelf products to use. I know how to wet sand pretty well, but I don't think that would be required here.



And I think I'm going to go back to that dumb place, and rip their face off, since it used to look beautiful about 2 days before. DARN THEM!



Plus why should I pay 200 dollar Canadian for someone to do the job? The chamois should pay!







As for tools, I have a orbital polisher, and lots of mf cloths at home, plus I can go out and get some nice polishes, just reccomend 'em. Also, I don't want to compound the paint, I just don't feel comfortable.
 
Pictures are notorious for not showing defects very well. That's why I don't trust them to evaluate something very accurately.



There's actually not much difference between "polishing" and "compounding" here. Just semantics, so don't worry. You may or may not have to "compound" but in any case if you want to fix the problem you just have to keep polishing with products as strong as is needed to be effective.



I think you may want to check out the Learn! link at the top if you haven't already. It should at least give you an idea of how to proceed, mention some of the things you'll need, and probably give some product suggestions to get you started as well.
 
Not to be a cynic, but are you SURE they did the damage? I know Winterpeg and IMO there is no way any car driven in the winter in that environment is going to emerge unscathed, unscratched, or unswirled given the -40 temps, gravel, salt and grime on the roads there. Aren't you just getting into the thaw? It's just cracked "zero" in the past couple of weeks, right? All that black n brown grime, along with residual salt and the potholes showing themselves as construction (known elsewhere as spring and summer) approaches? All that stuff is highly abrasive and it sticks, to boot, eh?



Maybe the pump jockey @ Domo brushed the ice and snow aside to fill it up.



If you've been driving this car on the roads at all since October, tell us how you've been keeping the car FLAWLESS through a brutal Winterpeg winter, mild as it may have been (which is what Winnipegers say every winter). ;) Might give us a better idea of your techniques, etc, to help.



Doesn't look that bad to me. My philosophy on scratches and swirls is that if you can put 'em in, you can get 'em out!



You said you already tried to "buff it out". With what?
 
Because I'm a mad, unprofessional person. I'm the kind of person that punches first, asks questions later. No joking. I was just really peeved when I started this, and I posted it here because I wanted a professionals opinion.'



Ok onto the answers, to tell you the truth, this winter would have made it impossible to keep the car spotless. But on the other hand, the day before my dad had taken it in, the paint looked emaculate. So I have to say that it was the chamois that did it, since its pretty much over the whole car. Oh, did anyone notice I posted that scratch? Thats brand new too. :(
