New Paint Question
My '13 was involved in a collision three months ago. When I went to clean her all up yesterday I noticed the hood and front clip have a rough texture to them. It shines very well but it is not smooth at all. I also have hairline scratches in it from what I can think came from the wash. I didn't wash it any differently than before and I don't have any hairline scratches anywhere else. Does the shop need to do anything or am I being too critical of a non-factory paint job?

Clay baring the area should smooth the finish, if done right it will glass smooth. The scratches might have come from is the clear coat was not hard prior to wash either by you or the paint shop, take it back and complain a bit

I haven't clay barred it. They told me to wait 30-45 days before I waxed it but I could wash it anytime. Yesterday was day 48. I might clay a small section of the bumper to see if that smooths it out. I'll try and post some pics later today.
