Truck looks sharp. No pics of the brewery? :jester:


But the swirls were in the paint and that's why I took it back in. They sent it to a professional detailer so I was hoping they got the swirls out. Looks like they might have waxed it again to hide the marks.
Always pick out a detailer of your choice. I'm sure they had someone lined up that is used to cutting corners for them. In other words, they probably used a filler instead of doing any paint correction. Since it's new paint, though, definitely not a bad idea. Like Jim said, gotta let it cure before waxing and definitely before doing any paint correction. If the swirls are there after it's done curing I'd ask them to pay for the paint correction by a detailer of your choosing.

Not sure why there are swirl marks, though. When I got my bad panel and tailgate resprayed they were flawless (not anymore...:uhoh:).

They had some toothless redneck detail the truck after it was painted. Idiot covered the truck with swirls. When I took it back in the owner said, "There's no wax." Told him no because they hid the swirls with wax and I wanted the swirls removed from the paint. :uhoh:

That's usually the problem. :D I've told myself anytime I buy a new vehicle in the future I will specifically ask them not to wash it for me.

When I take it back, I plan on telling them not to wax it. I want to see the paint when I pick it up. After all they're a body shop, not detailers.
