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________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

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. ________________________________________ Cherry Red Rallye .... On going OEM spec restoChina Blue GTi6 .... Weekend toy Black 208 GTi ....

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 |
