  • Can i have your guys help please?

    Hey guys, im trying to help some of my friends explain the differences in paint defects but im just not getting through to them.

    What im asking for from you guys, is to send me a picture or 2 of the different paint defects that we encounter as detailers, everything from swirl marks to halograms to RIDS, etching, sanding pig tails, basically any defect you can think of, id like a picture of with the type of defect written above the picture so my friends can identify them and remember what they are.

    All help from anyone willing to help is very appreciated!

                Here are a few pics:

                Etching (and some swirls) -


                Oxidation -


                Nasty swirls -


                Holograms -



                In the detailing world, "holograms" are sort of slang. Basically, it is a type of swirl caused by a rotary polisher. You can see which direction the polisher was moving by the direction of the defects.

                  It'll buff out ( well at least most of it) Just the door is (almost) done in this pic.



                  Sorry about the big pics. I'm still learning this computer stuff.
