    Unhappy First try on Black Jetta 2.0TFSI , first holograms error..

    hi all... well as you see Iīm from Argentina and English is not my native language so please sorry for my lack of vocabulary...

    this is my car and was my first attempt , i did not clay the paint so that was my first error.. secondly if you see the pics you will see the tape mark...

    the car has severals swirl marks but I think they are low to intermediate

    in the left part I used a CCS white pad with a polish with carnauba from poorboys world...

    on the other side y used CCS orange pad and poorboys SR2

    i just wanted to test both products waiting a glossy and shiny finish and of course remove some swirl but instead of that I was blessed with some holograms!!!

    please look that I highlighted where the tape was... actually I see the left part more shiny and clear that right part ...

    I did it at night with poor light and I didnīt see it after finished... after that I applied manually a coat of wax..... here a pic...



    swirl donīt go...




    my actually inventory is all types of pads, wolfangs, pinnacle, meguiars and poorboys that I ordered last month....

    I used a dewault dwp 849x because here in argentina does not exist dual action polishers like flex / meguiars and porter cable so my best option was dewault orbital...

    I read a lot of material saying that I should erase with a DA but I canīt access to one..

    Please a little help trying to remove them....

    thanks a lot and for the patience...

    Go over the holograms with a finishing polish and pad combination, Poorboy's Polish with Carnauba is probably a good choice... it worked on the passenger side of the hood didn't it? Repeat what worked there.

    The orange pad isn't a finishing pad and tends to leave marks behind, so it would be expected that orange w/ SSR2 would not finish perfectly on black paint.

    thanks david... yes! I worked on passenger side with polish with wash but I have a few holograms too, less than driverīs side but I got them....

    so you recommend to wash again the hook , clay it , and apply again poorboys? what about meguiars UC? or pinnacle?

    I assummed that holograms are part of the technique with a orbital buffer and not of the process of polish, finishing and waxed.... or do I have the wrong perception and every time you use a orbital buffer you get holograms and them you remove it with a finishing process?
