Thanks mate. The customer had already been waiting ages for it and knew it wasnt worth the hassel with the dealer so just got it done by me so he knew it was done properly.
You should see the Honda ive got coming up. Its been from detailers back to Honda Australia and then to PPG who didnt want to touch it then back to the detailers now finally its on my lap to see if it can be fixed.

I constantly read on forums people saying that buffing your car causes swirls in the paint. This is true if you don't use the correct buffing pads with the correct products and the correct technique.
Heavy cutting compounds and/or cutting pads and/or machine settings will cause swirls. We calls these buffer trials. A detailer will use these heavy products to remove heavy defects. They will then refine the finish with lighter cutting products/pad combinations. This is where the multi-stage paint corrections come from like on his website.
What Dan is showing here is a perfect example of how to machine polish your car correctly.

I can feel that owners pain.
I have yet to see Mazda do a decent pre-delivery detail of a car.
My old SP23 took two tries to get right and to bring up some shine.
The MPS is a little better but I think I am going to have to break out the RO for it too after having a closer look the other day...sigh.

my car has been screwed since day one. Probably the worst paint in oz

My Black MPS has minor swirls and scratches on delivery.
So yeh, i agree with you about pre-delivery workmanship.
Need a proper detail ASAP.

My 2 needs a good detail and so does the blue XR8 that lives here as well....

damn that looks great. came up like brand new lol na but seriously that paint looks so good. bet it is smooth as silk that paint work :2thumb:
-
LOL gotta love black cars.

I have always felt that pre delivery charges are bloody outrageous. Under SA consumer law a product must be 'fit for purpose' so that covers the bit about "they have to check everything". In other words, you are paying a couple of thousand for a car wash and wax.

Thanks. It was brand new LOL That was the problem!!

My car was done really well from dealer, they told me that they washed and polished it and thats what they did, and it was good enough, but i just went over it today with some of that turtle "ice" wax and man it was a world of difference, the shadows and wet look is amazing now, but at least they didnt put swirls in it!!
