Well its back again, all repainted . He wasnt sure what it was , but he said it had a lifetime ( whatever that is) paint warranty , so was sorted quick and no hassle for me . Lets hope 5th time lucky then !!

So, yesterday was wash day. First time since the respray. First time I could see whats going on. So, the usual snowfoam, 2 buckets, etc etc, brush out all the compound left under the bonnet and engine and what do I see in the sun today ? Well apart from heavy marring and swirls on the bonnet, as it did the last time from lack of finishing, they somehow have either oversprayed the grill surround and horizontal lower lip of the front panel or had chucked gun wash or something on it, as its all gone flat and the gloss has gone.
I am in two minds here. Tell him to sort it or give the detailer next to my office the job and submit the bill to them. Usually I am not a patient bloke, although I have with this, but its now 'really' starting to niggle................Thoughts ?

Hopefully this will work of part of the grille. I was annoyed to clean the car and walk away, so by the time I went to photo it, the sun had faded............. Shows a section and a line of normal colour.
