Message	They did not put in the effort. If its a production shop that is what you will get. If you want a piano glass finish you need to put in the work. I think after they wet sand and polish you will have a very thin layer of clear, that will come back and haunt you.. it will look nice at first. I normally sand in between the clear coat and then reduce the final shot of clear. Normally I spray on 4 coats of clear, just to be on the safe side, then wet sand and buff. Just like Rolls Royce does it...
