Re: Rupes Bigfoot Help
You might want to get the 15 or 21 might help a lot with time. The 13 is a little small for doing a whole car. When polishing you might want to slow your arm speed and and over lap 50/50. Technique is everything when doing paint correction. Starting with a med cut polish would be better and always do a test spot first and see what works.

Re: Rupes Bigfoot Help
It could be that the original holograms were not completely removed, which means you may have to get a little more aggressive, such as using a MF pad.
The holograms you see could also be from the polish residue. Try wiping with an IPA solution, Carpro Eraser, etc, first to remove all polish residue and then see if you still see the holograms. That's happened to me before and it was the polish residue that was causing the holograms I saw.

If possible, take a video of you polishing a particular section and it will help us figure out if the problem is in the method of polishing.

Re: Rupes Bigfoot Help
We have the 21, Duetto and the 75. Been using them about 3 months. We have had pretty good luck with the Megs DA system as well as using their MF pads with other compunds) I do slow arm speed, overlap by 50% and just the weight of my hand for the downward pressure. (On horizontal surfaces. For vertical I just guess the weight of my machine and hand and give it that much pressure)
