scott87 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Looking for some help from someone please. Had my car flattened back and machine polished by a body shop on a couple of panels that needed it. However in some light at a certain angle I can see like curved lines, not scratches and they seem to be 'in' the paint? Will the polish have caused this or will it be something that has just been highlighted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Does it look like this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Either swirl marks or holographic lines both probably caused by machine polishing. I'm sure one of the detailers will give you some info on how to proceed with getting rid of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yer they are more like curved lines rather than swirls. Only visible in direct sun light and from a certain angle. Will it be a respray or can they work them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Should be sortable by any half decent detailer. You could probably purchase a Dual Action Polisher and have a go yourself:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulj1 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 sounds like duel action sanding marks from the bodyshop mate. If its been flatted and machined then it won't be swirls yet because its new paint^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
