    Any ideas what this is?

    Just got my car back from the body shop for the second time! This time the rear bumper was replaced. I washed the car and put the light on it and found this mark. It feels smooth and is hard to see without the light. I haven't touched it yet, I thought I'd get some opinions. I'm hoping it's just going to polish out. This is really frustrating as I have had $3000 worth of body work done on my brand new BMW and haven't even had it ling enough to need an oil change yet!
    Any ideas? Thanks guys!

    Looks like a hologram and one spot looks like a burned edge

    They had to paint the new rear bumper and someone got careless with a rotary buffer.

    I feel your pain. I don't know what it is, but its just got to go. Take it back AGAIN and have if fixed correctly. Buffing will likely on make it worse. It's do hard to find good body shops.

    Agree. You can probably easily correct it yourself but why bother have them fix it since their at fault.

    Ugh. I don't know if I want these guys to touch my car. They told me the bumper was replaced with an OEM bumper. Basically, they should have just snapped it in. Right?

    In theory yes, not sure about BMW but Honda OEM body panels come pre-painted from the factory with OEM color's for that specific year/model.

    Can you feel anything with your finger when you touch and rub the affected area?
