Help, Problem with my Wash Over

[walnut]

I had my 96 Corolla XE washed over last month. Before getting it out of the shop, I noticed that there are water marks in the hood. The water marks are only visible at a certain angle and under certain lighting condition.

Under the sun, the paint looks good. After a few days, dust started to stick. I noticed that the dust literally sticked. It was difficult to remove. I washed the car myself. Hosing the dust did little. Washing it with shampoo is like running sand paper over it.

This is only true for the hood, the roof and the trunk. The sides are smooth without a problem.

I brought the car back to the shop, kulang lang daw sa buffing.

Now one week after getting it back, while the dust is not as sticky as before, I noticed the following:

• the hood, roof and trunk is not as shiny as the doors and fenders
• since rainy lately, i tried running my hands on the wet trunk. Tiningnan ko kung mabilis matangal ang dumi
• When I had the car washed, I was surprised that the marks I made nung hinilamos ko ng kamay yung trunk and hood are still there. Di matangal.
• I waxed the hood and the trunk. It was difficult to remove the marks pero natanggal din.
• Under cloudy condition, the paint is not as shiny as it should be. Under the sun, it looks good.

Before I complain again to the shop, ano ang suggestion ninyo. Thanks!

Never wash and wax a newly painted car until after a month as the paint need time to cure. Take it back to shop that did them work and have them do it again until your satisfied.

naku!! bakit ka nag wax kaagad? nbalik mo na lang then pa rebuff mo..

Di ko matanggal yung marks so I waxed the trunk to test. So far looks ok naman. What will happen if I wax it ba?

Any ideas kung bakit ganito ang result ng trabaho nila? San kaya sila ng short cut?

baka "mapa" yan? yun alon-alon yun itsura ng finish...

[glenngj]

meron naman siguro warranty yan, point to them the problem at ibalik mo sa kanila para maayos.

balik mo as early as possible.. baka magdahilan na yung pinagawaan mo kung pinatagal.

like what the others have posted...bring your car back to the shop as soon as possible...have them do the necessary things that you find unsatisfactory...it would also be nice to let them do the paint job when the weather is hot and humid and not rainy or cloudy...hope this helps
