Help with Halograms

i am working on a Durango. It is heavily swirled so i used Powergloss with a Orange CCS pad and then cleaned it up with SIP and a white 3m Waffle pad. I have pictures but you cant see the left over halograms. You can only see the halograms at certain angles in the sun. Am i doing something wrong or should i go back with a black pad and FPII or Po85R

 

Go back over it and then let us know what happens. This should take care of it.

 

With the SIP again or a less aggressive apporach?

 

Go over with sip again, then your 85rd on a finishing pad. Do you have any other pads. If you have a green lc pad I would use that with sip after the power gloss and then go 85rd with a blue finishing pad if you have one or a blue 3m pad whichever you have.

 

Its a little strange to me that you're leaving holograms with SIP/ white. There might be something going on here with your technique/ process. Are you sure you're removing the compound marks with SIP/ white?

If you are, then go over it with FPII or 85rd using a blue pad.

 

Also have you tried doing an IPA wipe down or going over it with some kind of quick detailer to make sure it isnt just left over polish?

 

alright thanks. Ill work at it a bit more. First time i have had this problem.

 

This is doubtful but maybe you're not working in the polish enough and what you see is polish residue? Perhaps the weather is having an effect on your polishing and maybe it's one of those instances where SIP acts up.

See what you can do with a finishing polish and pad and see if that makes any difference, like everyone else had already mentioned.

 

+1

or if its been repainted it could be really soft..

 

SIP on a green or wjite pad should not leave any holograming at all if you are polishing until the abrasives have broken down completely. The polish will go clear at this point. I would go over it again with SIP on white at 1200 - 1500 rpm and then finish with 85RD on a black / blue pad. Thiat should fix it for you.
