What is this and why is it happening?

It's stuff, and things

Ha, good point.

It's marring. I like to call them DA holograms. Instead of long, thin rotary holograms, they tend to be vertical and only a few inches long.

Most likely a soft paint and the finishing step is not correcting the compounding step.

I had this problem when I first started working with mf pads. I've since worked it out. I had the most problems with soft acura/honda paint.

Tato, made excellent points about how to correct the issue. I can't really expound on it any further.
