This is kind of what I’m looking for. I know everyone has their snake oil they KNOW produces the best results, but I’m looking for more of “hey, if you use this level pad, a finishing polish, and don’t apply pressure then there is a VERY low chance you’ll have a million swirls now instead of one or two.” Or “DO NOT use anything more aggressive than medium cutting compound or you’re going to F up your paint unless you seriously know what you’re doing.”
I know the risk reward plays in... but I don’t need a huge reward. Just a bit more glow and maybe super fine swirl removal in 10% of the surfaces. So hopefully I can go very gentle and gain some improvement with very little chance of screwing if up, lol.
Speaking of corrections. I have two or three half dollars sized marks on the car that are a perfect circle and in the right light almost look like a dull residue after peeling off a sticker or something. I’ve been told those are areas that have been corrected by Tesla after the paint shop to sand down burrs or dirt or something that got on it during painting. I’m sure you’ve seen this before. I know prices are all over the place based on area, but what kind of ballpark do you think I should expect if/when I get those fixed. It’s about 3 spots on mainly flat panels. Are we talking $200 or so, $500 or so, or more because they’ll have to do a large area to blend or something?
This is what one of them looks like...
