Assistance removing holograms
Due to some health issues, its been a while since I have done any major detailing or been on the forums. I am feeling much better but am not at the end of the road. Since then, my wife recently bought a new Toyota Highlander. During the final prep the dealer "removed" some scuffing they noticed. Upon further inspection, it appears they were nice enough to leave quite a few holograms for us. I have gotten rid of most of my products but I still have my tools. It looks like the industry has expanded quite a bit and there are definitely more offerings now than when I slowed down.
I am looking for some assistance picking out a cutting and polishing agent for my situation and some pads. The Toyota's tend to have soft paint and clear. I can definitely attest that all you have to do to scuff the paint is lean against the car. I dont want to remove very much clear as the dealer was nice enough to give me a head start on that and it is a new vehicle. I cant enjoy the vehicle cause everytime I look at it I see the swirls and I get upset. Needless to say the wife doesnt care as much as I do. She didnt even know what the holograms were from. LOL . Any assistance will be much appreciated
Thanks,
Adam

Re: Assistance removing holograms
Any fine finishing polish should do the trick. Even by hand if it's only an isolated area. If it's a larger area then a DA with a polishing or finishing pad.

If it is just a light hologram... it should be a light work for your flex and a black pad or a light polishing pad with the PC with a light polish.
Just be aware that you might end up with a spot that looks better than the rest of the car. LOL

What do you guys think of the 3D AAT Finishing Polish? Think it will get the job done? Have you ever used it before?

It doesn’t have a lot of cut but the all I can say is a test spot is the only way to figure out how much you need to do.
Overall it’s an ok polish.
