Just to add...
The thing about using only a rotary buffer on a car is that you can leave what looks like a flawless, hologram free finish in your eyes
at that moment.
If there are holograms, you might not be able to see them unless you chemically strip the car and then view the car in bright overhead sun.
- Stripping the paint takes time
- Stripping the paint risks marring it in the process.
- You don't always have a hot, sunny summer day at noon to inspect.
- On a light colored car even if their are holograms they can still be hard to see.
So here's the question...
If you don't really do a great job of completely stripping off any oils, fillers other masking ingredients and then inspect in full sun or very bright light... how will you actually know 100% that you've left a 100% hologram-free finish?
The answer is you won't.
The above all said, if there are holograms, as long as you don't see them and as long as you maintain the paint with a wax, sealant or coating, then the point is moot.
Here's what I know and what I've also see a lot of seasoned professional agree with and that's in most cases, the holograms won't show up till months have gone by and the car in question has been washed over and over again.
I do some rotary buffer only buff-outs... I have nothing against them for the right car and the right owner.
Plus, with products like SF 4500, Sonax Nano Polish and soft foam pads and slow turning rotary buffers, it's more possible now to leave a
hologram FREE finish than ever before.
Go for it!
