    Here what I ended up going with. Talked with my uncle about expectations he said he just wanted them les noticeable. So 2000 grit wet sand, cut with griots fast correcting on the correcting pad then finishing sealant on the perfecting pad , followed up by Megs UFF.

    Good job. This is one I had to fix about a month ago. The guy took a scratchy sponge to some adhesive that stuck to the car covering a broken window. It was like this all around the window, this was just the worst example.

    Sometimes I wonder what goes through people’s heads. Your turn around looks great as well

    Yep, Griots has always done top notch for me. I forgot my Uro pads but the correcting pad really surprised me

    Re: Advice Please

    I can't take any credit for that at all. When I said I had to fix it, I meant my business. My son did all the work because I was out of town for the day. The guy booked a "detail" and then sprung this on him when he got there. My son called me in a panic. I walked him through wet sanding, which he had seen me do but never done himself. I kept having him send me pictures of his progress. When he was finished, the guy was so stoked, he paid the full freight on the job and gave him a $50 tip.

    Oh, just to expand on what was going through his head, apparently he googled how to remove adhesive from a car and one recommendation was olive oil and a scratchy sponge. I #### you not.

    Olive oil over adhesive remover? Some people never surprise me....but hey I guess it worked right it just scratched the s**t out of his car. Good job by your little one turning it around

    Nice save.

    Go find the detailer that did the work and school him.

    At least show him this thread on this forum.
