Color Sand and Polish Auto Body Paint Finish… by NetworkAutoBody
In this video, Network Auto Body discusses the problem of getting dirt in paint jobs being sprayed in auto body shops. He mentions that insurance should pay for this as it is impossible to have the vehicle as clean as it was when being sprayed from the factory. Therefore, dirt is going to get in the paint, and you will need to cut and polish the vehicle. He also mentions that dirt is a dead give-away that the vehicle has been repainted. This may affect the trade-in value.

Watch the video and let me know what you think. I know most shops buff dirt out, but have you been able to have insurance pay for that? If so, do you have any advice for other shops when they are trying to have insurance to pay for this task?
