I have to bring my car back to the shop for the third time for them to fix this weird 3D Hazing that they're leaving on my car. What can I tell them specifically to do? This is driving me crazy...I asked them to wetsand to get rid of the orange peel, and I think they did an OK job with that, but now this weird 3D Haze is all over my car....if you look at the car in the sun, the haze kind of looks like it's floating on top of the car. It's hard to explain. I don't have a Polisher, otherwise I'd do it myself.

If you are not satisfied with it....Don't put a buffer on it....As soon as you try to remedy it yourself.....They will say you caused it. Make sure they are seeing what you see when you take it back.....explain it the same way as you are explaining it here. Good luck....

Sounds like rotary-induced holograms. They need to do a better job of finish polishing the car. DO NOT accept it before they fix this as yeah, they'll say *you* did it.
Generally, they need to polish the paint with mild abrasives and foam pads. The tricky thing is that they need to do it *right*, and if they knew how to do that, then you wouldn't have the problem.
Perhaps suggest that they polish it with a DA instead of a rotary. It sorta sounds like they're using a rotary with a wool pad (and using it incompetently
).
As Terry said, make sure they see the problem, and tell them you don't want it covered up with glaze, you want it (mechanically) removed.

Instead of taking it back to the body shop, maybe you could work something out where the body shop will pay to have a detailer take the swrills out. Body shops do not seems to care about the holograms, so long as the car looks glossy. My car came back with similar problems. I'm still trying to take them out, but I prefer that over giving it back to those rotary toting maniacs.
