What can buffing do??

[supercamaroz06]

hi,
i was wondering how useful taking a car to a detailer is, can their high speed buffers work magic? I was wondering if they could smooth out my clearcoat in a small sopt about half the size of a penny? I filled a chip in my paint and sanded alittle to much and now there is a tiny lowspot i was wondering if buffing would spread the surrounding clearcoat better? or if there was something else i could do, beecause i e-mailed a body shop and they said to fix the problem a whole newly painted hood is the only thing that could be done. But i think the defect is so small something else less drastic could be done. If not buffing the small spot would i have to have the rest of the hood sanded down alittle then buffed? Any help is good help!

Thanks
Eddie

An experienced paint shop could fix it no problem. It's unbelievable on some of things the "good guys" can do. No use in taking it to a detailer. It sounds like the spot is already too low. The advantage of getting your car buffed is that the buffer can cover more area and can "rub" the paint better than you could by hand. Buffing can be bad too. If it were a scratch, some buffing may do some good. Get more pros to take a look at it.

Dude just take it to your dealer and say it was a factory flaw. Your car is brand new....say you just noticed when you were waxing it for the first time?
