Bad Buffing Job - Need Help

Dave08SI · 04-27-2008, 09:29 PM

So when I picked up my ralley red SI...I noticed that they must have buffed out a few tiny scratches on the hood. I just washed it for the first time and you can tell where the buffed it out. It is not really bad but the area they buffed just looks a little different...and sort of streakey or something like that.

How can I fix this? I hate to bring it back to the dealer with the fear the same amateur is going to go to town on my hood.

Is their some sort of wax/polish I can get at the locat parts store that would be easy to use?

not anymore, I'm pretty sure they use turtle wax rubbing compound. that happened to me too, It came out dull right?

yes some areas are sort of dull maybe swirly you could say...not a real deep shine like the rest of the hood.

you need to have it rebuffed with polish and glazed.
