Advice Please

My uncles truck was ran through wet paint and slung it all over his dually fenders. Well he took it to some hack detailer as we live about 3.5hrs apart. Well he gets it back and sends me pics for me to help get his truck back to 80 or so percent. Looks like the “detailer”used a scuffing pad.

Will this need to be wet sanded or just go at it with heavy cut pad and compound?

Eek! I wonder if a wool pad will put a dent in that. Wouldn’t surprise me if it needs wet sanding.

Good Lord. That is horrific.

Going with just common sense, I would try a compound at first (least aggressive method first).

Looking at that though, I'd be worried about some of those sanding marks cutting through most, if not all the clear coat.

Good luck, man.

That's a easy fix. I would wet sand that with 1500 grit then with 2000 followed by compound and polish. As long as the scratches aren't deep. That would take me 15 mins.

Not sure what you mean at the end? Kind of my thoughts, might try some heavy cut first and see where I stand and if he is satisfied. This is free on my day off of work so not trying to kill myself but I’ll probably get some beer and dinner out of it lol

Wow that hack detailer really made a number on the paint!

Generally speaking if your father don't want to have anything else with this detailer to do. If your vehical is insured would not the insurance company help you out? This looks like damage that could be claimed by insurance. I live in Sweden so it can be different how insurance works for you. But here would your insurance company go after the detailers insurance company or the detailer himself. To fix it even if it would mean a repaint. Just interested how it works for you guys.

I mean that can be fixed without being painted. See that's why I tell people to pick your detailers carefully. That isn't that bad but the only problem is now u gotta pay someone else to fix the problem.

Now that I look at it. The person tried to wet sand. Those are sand paper marks.
