I have a '10 GT-R I am working on that is getting a full correction done. Paint is in terrible shape. After going on a process of...

Power Gloss - PFW - Dewalt 849 - 1400 rpms
M105 - O. LC - GG DA - Spd 6
SIP - W. LC - GG DA - Spd 5
Super Finish - B. LC - Spd 4

Holograms are still visibile from the rotary. Am I not doing enough cutting or is the Nissan GT-R paint that impressionable that I will need to go with say after the PFW do M205 - W. LC - Dewalt 849 - 1000 rpms to remove a good portion of the holograms from the compounding step?

Does it have the "self healing" paint option? This may be what is causing some grief?

I'd say so.

There was a fairly in-depth post about the self-healing crap that's going around now. Something about the heat generated from a rotary "activating" the paint. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Yeah I had already tried that last night. I pass with a Black LC pad and 1 pass with a Blue LC Pad with Ultrfina and still holograms. I did some research and found the cause of it. Seems those cars paint do not fare well to any aggressive cutting. Had to go back with the rotary with M105/W. LC Pad to get them out, then buffed up normally from there.
