Bad Detailing Job

Looks like buffer trails
Just poor workmanship.. if a shop did that they probs let his kid do it or a trainee.
Needs a good buff with a machine polisher. Easy to fix.

First off that looks like a typical "detail" that is offered at some car washes,
my co-worker has a black Audi A4 that he got "detailed" at one of these car washes for a small amount of money, and well that's what it looked like, personally that's not a detail at all, it's more of a clear coat killer. Why? Because they use rotary buffers and all they do is pass it really fast through the entire car, not good!
You're going to need an entirely new detail, by a professional, or someone that is familiar with multi step systems used to detail a car and good knowledge in the field. Look around the forum here in Automotive Care & Detailing, or go to Autopia.org there might be someone in there that does detailing in your area.
There's always learning the skill yourself witch will benefit you in the long run.
Good luck on getting her back in shape.

Thats what I would recommend. The trick is to work in straight lines left to right, up to down, applying even pressure and working in small areas. Also a dual action polisher is best for beginners as makes it much safer from burning the paint.

Anyway, if you want it done right, you need to lookup Picus. He's in the GTA and I have seen his work and will definitely vouch for him. I don't remember his website, but he is a mod here on CL.
Keep us posted!
