I had my car at a local bodyshop a couple of months ago to sort out a small scratch on the back hatch that had begun to attract rust, and while they were at it, they looked at a small scrape on the bottom of my passenger door which had the same problem. The job they did seemed okay, although I did have to return to them due to some rough overspray residue on the boot and bumper which they buffed off with a little machine polish and a lot of elbow grease.
At the time I didn't really notice a problem with the job they did on the door (it was only a tiny spot anyway), however since the sun has appeared over the past few days, and since I washed the car at the weekend, I have noticed both the front and back passenger doors *covered* in what I can only assume is the remnants of a TERRIBLE machine polish job - streaks of horizontal buff marks all over both doors which look to be where the top and bottom of a polish pad would lie. Of course these are completely invisible in non-direct sunlight but in the direct blazing sun the car looks like a zebra!!!
Any suggestions how I could correct these? I've tried giving it a good polish and it seems to have improved a *little* but they're still very noticeable. Do I have to resort to a full correction?
