Default body pros inside

why would a red car turn to pinkish color after a body shop wet sanded it and buffed it?instead of looking red now it looks redish pink,very odd.too many swirl marks or not finished polished cause something weird like this?could it be a chemical reation to somthing they put on the clear coat like a wax?i notice it even where they didn't sand but waxed.insanity!

my guess is that they didnt clear the hood enough, or sanded it too much, and the clear coat has gotten so thin that the bond with the clear coat and paint has broken.

take that **** back and demand they repaint the hood and blend the fenders

Thank God! Well, I know it looks pink DURING the wetsand process with the extra "dust" on there. Don't know what would do it afterwards though

Maybe they wetsanded too much and the clear was actually making it look more red? I don't know but I agree with taking it back...
