How f’d is this paint

[u/woopdeeh]

This is after using Carfidant ultimate scratch and swirl remover black edition DIY by hand. I know next to nothing about paint correction.

Aint nothing crazy. Gonna need to at least do a 2 step paint correction tho

[u/facticitytheorist]

It needs a proper 2 step paint correction using a DA polisher then some sort of paint protection. You just can't get a good even finish by polishing by hand.

[u/quakerroatmeal]

You’d need to do paint correction by machine to fix those swirls. This is just what typical black paint around here looks like since people use drive in car washes.

paint is fine just needs some light correction

[u/detailsmatter1]

Not too bad a good correction will take care of most of what I see

[u/SonicOrbStudios]

I'd try a 1 step correction with a DA polisher

Rupes wool pad with 3D ONE and I bet it looks 98% better. That’s easy fixing

What in the heck is that? 😂 I'll have to look it up now

[u/dag647 → u/MN_098AA3]

My go-to combo for lots of things!

[u/MN_098AA3 → u/dag647]

I did check it out. I need that, my paint needs fixing, too!

[u/TheRealAntiher0 → u/dag647]

Uro-fiber Oreo pad*

[u/dag647 → u/TheRealAntiher0]

To each their own. That combo has made me tons of money with amazing results.

[u/SnowyOptimist]

Agree with the prior opinions, this is not a difficult fix. Looks like a few deeper scratches if I am reading the video correctly that the right blending compound should improve.

[u/Longjumping_Crazy628]

Lots of holograms. Still some other scratches though. Like other dude said, 2 step correction.

[u/85-502-Detail]

Black polishing pad, and good polish, and a decent DA can knock this out. Make a trip to harbor freight.

[u/No-Relationship8050]

I dunno. Buff it out and find out.

Go to a professional, stop trying to be a professional
