How to get electric buffer streaks out of paint?
New black paint job on my '01 CL looked good, but the paint shop owner wanted to shine up some dull spots after letting the paint dry a week. Nice guy, sounded good, brought it back in a week.
When I got it back after that, it was parked in the shade and looked great. But when I got it home in the bright sun, it was covered with these electric buffer streaks.
I sent the owner some pics and he said bring it in again. This time he wasnt there and his guy did a full polish (might not be the right terminology, but didnt buff it). When I picked it up, it wasnt a sunny day and it looked ok.
Once again, in the bright sun though, its covered with electric buffer marks (photo). The owner said he'd take care of it but now I'm skeptical he can fix it, or if anything short of repainting can fix it - a last resort week without my car option.
I'm hoping theres some miracle cure that will permanently fix this.
Anyone had experience successfully getting rid of buffing marks like this, particularly on dark paint?

<p>There are paint safe compounds that can be used after a few days after a fresh repaint .. and if its 2 stage, you're buffing the clear, not the base.</p><p>Almost looks like your car was done by someone who was just learning how to use an orbital buffer for the first time and burned streaks into it.</p><p>If you know someone with a DA polisher, you can try M105 and 205 to clean it up.</p>
