Would ad a picture but phone won't let me.
I have got the transit St. In performance blue. After looking at it could of days after I collected it. Where they have buffed it with machine polisher it has left it with swirls all over.
I'm going to go back to the ford garage tomorrow but what are your forts? Will they come out if polished correctly with a decent pollish?

It should machine out with the correct pads sounds like they got carried away with the wrong kit

You are describing holograms. They have not worked the polish long enough to break it down and refine the finish. Unfortunately, pretty std from a main dealer. The valeter gets either nowhere long enough in terms of time or enough in terms of money to do a proper job.

Let me know how you get on. I've a shed load of pretty decent gear if you need any help.

Well I'm going to go back to ford first as I don't see why I should have to sort it out. As I have just spent a small fortune on a van. I think they should provide a better service. They where crap tbh

Spoke with the garage my van is going into the body shop to have a trim replaced. Some pikey tried to steal it on there forecourt. So when it goes in next week they are gettin a full clean done at the body shop. Touch would will be a good job as I have bought it to there attention

It needs refining with a lighter polish and a softer pad!

You will loose the holograms...
