What am I doing wrong :( Holograms after using a rotary buffer
What am I doing wrong - Holograms after using the rotary buffer
Alrighty here's my issue.
Lately I've been noticing on some of the black cars that I'm leaving behind a ton of holograms. Where the light refracts and I can see my polishing track.
I used Menz SIP with L. Cut pad
Then PO85RD with M. Polishing pad
Then Meguiars Show Glaze #3 by hand
And wax
Should I be using Final Finish or maybe Nano polish instead of 85RD or after 85RD.
This was on a SLK 350, I tried taking pictures but they didn't show up. I just saw them after she drove away. So I called her back and am going to fix it.
Then I noticed it on this hummer! I'm getting him to come back too
Drivers door.

Re: What am I doing wrong :( Holograms
PO85RD + M Polishing pad isn't strong enough to remove the holograms left behind by Menzerna PO85RD + Cutting Pad.
A couple of things that might help you.
Try using a light cutting pad with SIP instead of a cutting pad. A cutting pad might just be to rough for the paint you are doing. You should only be using it for really rough paint.
Be sure to completely break down SIP when using the cutting pad and you might just be able to switch straight to PO85RD + Polishing pad to clear up the haze. Otherwise, yes, you might need to use Final Finish or Nano.
What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about???

I would go SIP, 106FA and then 85RD to jewel the paint up. So most likely w/a white pad, grey pad and then a blue pad.

Hmm you'd use 106 before 85? I'm looking at both my bottle of those side by side and they look identical. What's the difference?
And I hear this "jeweling" term used around but have never found anything about it on the internet, can you clear my muddy waters?

106FA has a cut of 2.5, 85RD has a cut of 1. So 106FA will more likely remove more than 85RD. 85RD is used for jeweling, it has a low cut and shine up great.

Where do you get this info? The bottles don't tell you, I'd love to know exactly the cut differences between them all!
