Help! Will it buff out?

[BeeEmDubAU]

Alright here's the story: My friends '03 VW GLI goes into the shop for service (new power steering rack, bushing, motor mounts, etc.) And it comes back with these on it:






Just for reference as to where they are:



Think they'll come out? If so any tips/techniques/products you recommend?

Thanks guys.

those are fairly deep, like key marks almost, very hard to get those out, if at all possible. You may need to re-paint, sue the service shop for re-painted fenders, then pray the paint matches...

Yea the ones that you can see white underneath are probably not going to come out. I would use a high speed buffer with a medium compound then a PC working my way down with swirl removers , polishes, etc. I would go after shop!!!!

Thanks guys, the car is going back to VW tomorrow, but we're not expecting much from them

I disagree, I'd say with a rotary those can be taken out.

i rekon they will come out if u put the effort in

Sue that fucking mechanic. I would have their heads if that happened to my car. Some will come out, some look too deep. They will definately be less noticeable, but they would still bug the crap out of most people.

Greg even a noticeable improvement with a PC and some DACP.......

Usually if you can feel them with your finger nail, they are too deep. In that case the fenders would need to be painted as well as blending the hood for a paint match.

wet sand is the only way. then compound, then polish, and wax

Update: VW was very good about it and admitted to their mistake. The service manager had the tech come out and apologize, and they agreed to buff it out. I haven't seen it since this, but from what my friend has told me, it came out fine. Thanks for the info guys, I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.
