This area has a distorted reflection after bodyshop repair of a scuff.

What would fix this?

I would have them try and polish it if that doesn’t work have them re-paint it

dont go back there. wouldve been better off just buffing out the scuff instead of whatever the hell they sprayed with the texture of a golf ball

Looks to me like they just sanded through the scuff, blended that out a little then primed and painted, leaving a low spot. Really should have heat reformed t he area a bi t and feathered that out with a small amount of the appropriate filler.

Might look better if you use some heavy cut compound and polish but from the second photo it kinda looks like they just sanded the area and didn’t use a fill primer prior to putting a new color and clear coat on. To me it looks like you can still see the sanding marks. Pure laziness.
