Does this look like a professional job? (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/82022-does-look-like-professional-job.html)

I had my new car professionally detailed two weeks ago. I paid dearly to have the paint "corrected" and then to have a Acrylic Sealant applied. My car is mainly a weekend toy and I've been really busy at work. So today was only the 2nd time I've had it out of the garage since I had it detailed. I have washed it twice since it was done using the "Garry Dean" method.

When I first brought it home I thought it looked pretty good, but I really didn't "study" it. However today when I walked out to my car after a lunch out I noticed a bunch of swirl marks in the sun. Like I said this was just professionally detailed 2 weeks ago. I'm disappointed... or am I asking to much for a black car?

I think I could have done better myself with my Groits Garage polisher and some M105 & M205? But I wanted to start out with a "professional" job.

What do you pro's think? I hate to take it somewhere else due to the cost and now it has Acrylic Sealant on it (at least they said it did).

opinions?

1st picture was the day I brought it home. Rest are from today.

I would bring it right back to the person or place your brought it to and ask them the same question.

Was at the body shop yesterday and saw this work. Not good work.

Well I can say that no the work you got done should not look like that. Where do you live? Maybe you can find a detailer here to help you out.

But yeah those should not be left like that.

[rbss]

Ouch thats no good! If you have the equipment you could correct it yourself.

[WAXOFF]

That's what an inexperienced guy with a rotary will get you.

Yea I will have them look at it. But now I'm wondering if I want them to do anymore.

That is so so so bad...I'd go back there and raise hell.

No car should ever get detailed and look so bad..

[David Hayward]

Yea go get your money back. Or you could go over it yourself with your griots and fix it up just right. I'd still get my money back and don't let them offer to redo it.

Does it look like that's all they used was a rotary?

Now I wonder if they even used an orbital at all?

This is how that black should look lol

I mean they definitely used a rotary and if they hit it with a da there is no reason you should still be having holograms that bad.

[Kamakaz1961]

Ouch!! I would not even bother taking it back to him and do it yourself. I used to have a Miata and they are really small sports cars. You could finish the job in a short time. The car is small enough to where you could finish in 1 day.

Why take the chance of bringing it back again and have the possibility of the person messing up again.

That car is too nice to have someone mess with it. I say do it yourself and it will look like the way you want it.

PS: Your MX 5 is beautiful in Black

i just wanted to add that even when a detailer has the best reputation...crappy jobs can still come out of the shop. this is a different situation - your guy obviously has an antiquated view of what detailing actually is...or correction, for that matter.

but i'm just saying that even the best who have awesome internet reputations, tons of high line cars coming through, etc. have disasters occur.

That is true. Sometimes results aren't as expected but I feel like we could have seen how this looks even in the dark.

Looks like just a rotary was used. I don't know how soft Mazda paint is... But if it's extremely soft I would be a little concerned about how much clear they removed...
