    Buffer Holograms

    Hello gents!

    I recently had the right side of my truck repainted. However, after the shops glaze wore off, I noticed rotary "grams". I'd take it back, but obviously the body shop would just make things worse.

    I currently have a GG6 with their orange pads. I also have FG400, 45000, and Reflect. Question is, which is usually the cure for these nice body shop induced holograms? Thanks for any info.

    Mike

    Im gonna tell you what everyone else will. Try a test spot with the least aggressive (4500/reflect) and move up to fg400. You will need some fine polishing and finishing pads to really bring out the 4500.

    Try 4500 with whit PED's first. If that doesn't work(it should) work the FG400 all the way down. Then inspect your progress to see if 4500 is necessary. On some paints, FG finishes down to LSP ready.

    Go for Lake Country. Size depends on your backing plate.
    You can go for 5" backing plate + 5.5" Pad combo.

    Mike - I would start with the lake country flat white pad with Reflect or SF4500. If that doesn't work move up to the FG400 on a white pad, if you need more cut then the FG400 on an orange pad. The FG400 is very versatile and finishes down extremly well.

    FG400 sure is a big step from SF4500 or Reflect. I'd say if you're buying pads you could use more of a medium polish in your arsenal. Maybe something like SI1500 or Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover. Hopefully the SF4500 will take out those holograms for you.

    Re: Buffer Holograms

    I agree with Setec. I like to have something in between my heavy cut, and finishing polishes. Typically it's PF2500 from Menzerna, or M86 So1o from Meguiars.

    Re: Buffer Holograms

    I was thinking the same, I'll grab some 2500 while I order pads, just in case. I know FG400 is good stuff, but I'd rather save my clear as much possible. I've never used LC pads yet, as I've had descent luck with the GG pads so far. Thanks for all the help!
