What should I expect? getting compounding done tomorrow....

[rclab1]

Hello all, I didnt know whether to post this here or some other place, but i wanted to get a professionals point of view on this matter. I'm getting my black car "compounded" (polished) tomorrow by the dealership (BMW) I have lots of "swirls" and "holograms" on my car from the daily usage of drive thru car washes (winter is rough around here).....looking at my car after washing on a sunny day really brings out the swirls and holograms......

What shall I expect from the procedure and How will I know they didn't just put wax on my car to cover up the fine swirl marks on my car. I will wash it again and hope most of (if not all) all the swirls are completely gone.

I don't know what compound they are using but they informed me that they use compounds to get rid of fine swirls on the clear coat.....

please provide input.....
thank you....

You know, we answered a similar question recently for a gentleman who purchased a brand new Corvette only to have his Corvette needing to have this same procedure done and we warned him very strongly what to look out for. Some of the information will apply to you, so instead of re-typing everything, give us a second to snag the link and post it here.

Hang on.....
