Most shops would not let a paint job leave the shop without some de nibbling and polishing. Bad workmanship travels fast.....so most try to avoid that. I always include hours in my estimation for cut and buff.
A detailed would not be my first choice.
And most shops don’t want to cut and buff someone else’s work....because of the unknown ( how much clear is on the car).
But I have bailed out a few bad paint jobs....And tell the customer ...I’ll try a panel...( pass side rear 1/4 ) be nib booger’s with a little 1 inch square block with some 800 grit paper...then sand the panel with 1000 grit...but not all the way smooth...then 2000 then 3000...Then the buffing routine. And if I get no buff throughs....I proceed. Hours invested depends on size of car..hardtop or convertible. It’s a lot of work..but the finish will be dazzling.
