I totaled my 350Z on Tuesday as reported in another thread.

The miracle is I found my replacement already. It's one year newer and 40,000 miles fewer than what I had.

However!!!

Everything is great about the car except when I looked at it closer under the sun the dealer swirled the **** out of it with the buffer. I am assuming since the car shows NO paint chips on the hood that they buffed the crap out of it until the chip marks dissapeared, hoping to fool the customer. I would rather have chip marks than the UP and Down trail of Buffer swirls all over the front hood and trunk cover.

Question is, the paint looks great, so I assume it's just clear coat damage. Does anybody know of a great shop that can repair that kind of damage.

I can't beleive they screwed up the car like that just to try to hide some paint chips!

Thanks

 

Contact youngz33. He and I are the two detailers but I don't do it professionally. Rock chips cannot be fixed with a buffer as they go right through the paint and into the primer; buffer can only correct CC imperfections. The dealer just swirled yours while attempting to detail it.

 

Thanks for the info I will check with him. I did by a new Sentra back in 2000 and it had a chip in the paint on the roof of the car. They just buffed the cheese out of it until the paint heated up enough to blend over it. It looked great until I saw all the swirlies in the area.
