Holograms After Using UC With DA Polisher

Re: Holograms After Using UC With DA Polisher

Thanks everyone for the responses and help!

So I figured out a system. A couple of passes with the white LC and UC, and then a black LC pad with UC, and then black LC pad with swirl x is doing the trick. The results aren't flawless in direct sunlight but they're pretty good. I'm having to work by hand to remove some of the fine holograms left over which I find strange, but at least it's coming out.

Try the white LC pad with UC then another white LC pad with Swirlx both on speed 5. The white pad has a little more cut than the black pad and should do a better job at removing the holoograms left by UC.

Just to clarify for the OP, Mongoose is referring to the W8207 yellow polishing pad. I don't want you to think that he means the very aggressive yellow lake country cutting pad.

Sorry for not specifying "Soft Buff" in my last post, I took for granted that since I didn't state "LC" that others would know which yellow pad I was referring to.

Soft black paint and possibly non metallic will show any slight defects .
Slow arm speed , soft pad, hold it flat and M205 . even if you do everything right,very tough color to work on.
Try out your combo on a small area and proceed when you get the best result. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

Re: Holograms After Using UC With DA Polisher

Just got my new DA and am having a bit of an issue on my black Dodge Ram.

Using UC on speed 5 with a white lake country pad I was able to remove all cobwebs, scratches, and swirls. The only problem is that small holograms have appeared

After trying the UC with the LC white, blue, and black pads, I'm still getting holograms. Anybody have any idea why this would be? Do I need to finish it off with swirl x or something like that? Also how fast should the pad be spinning when on the paint? I've got the polisher set for 5k rpm but not sure how many times I should see the pad spinning per second once pressure is put on it.


Sorry I don't have pics. I'll try to post some within a couple days.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I had a heck of a time trying to get the micro marring out of some VERY soft paint on my Dad's 1951 Mercury. I ended up going with Menzerna PO85RD because nothing else worked...and I tried EVERYTHING...
