Hey guys, I had the unfortunate accident of allowing a personal friends detailer detail the exterior of my car. The reason being was apparently he used a rubbing compound that tore the hell out of my clear coat and has left swirl marks on the car. I only found the problem after the wax wore off... Since then Ive had the car buffed several times and still, almost no improvement.

Do you guys know if it is possible to have a new layer of clear coat put on to correct the problem? I dont want to spend 6k on a new paint job on a 10k car. I would just like for the car to look better. Instead of looking 12 years old, the paint looks 20 odd years or more, its quite depressing.

Any comments would be appreciated.
