Oof. Immediate regret.
We've fixed plenty of "I watched a video" jobs. This one? Not fixable.
Instead of buffing out a light scratch, this person sanded straight through the clear coat and into the paint. Micron-thin layers, gone in minutes.
A $100 detail just became a $2,000+ repaint.
This is why we don't let YouTube University near your car's paint. Book with someone who's already corrected this exact mistake - before you grab the sandpaper.
