basically mum took my car to be washed because she used it today, i find that half my paintwork has gone, its pink and there is a lot of white strips from the paintwork. i have just spent the last 3 hours waxing, t cut and polishing it to try and get the paintwork back and i can still see the lines in the paintwork,
she said they sprayed some sort of cleaner before it was jet washed i presume it was to break down the dirt, she said they used it on every car and they was fine.
is there any way that i can get my paintwork back sorry about the essay

Please do not tell somone to G3 there car UNLESS they know what they are doing, as you can do more harm than its worth and burning the paint.
Take it to a bodyshop for advice, an if it needs a mopping then a bodyshop (who know what there doing) will only change about £40.
DO NOT JUST G3 YOUR CAR YOURSELF WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT YOUR DOING.
