You will get holograms with aggresive polishes it's normal and nothing to worry about because they will be easily removed with a final polish like Zaino ZPC or Menzerna FPII. Final polishes will not hologram on their own, but still will remove swirls sometimes with rotary. They will not introduce new swirls, and once you use one correctly I think nobody would go back to a PC. Been a pro for twenty years, so I know what I'm talking about, but you know that because you know me right maddriver?

The way you talk and tried to spread your detailing lessons here, I would have thought you're a complete newbie. What happened? who or drove drove you out of business? 20 years as a pro...how old are you now???

 

...and have anyone mentioned to you that you actually have to detail cars to get some experience worth sharing, not by reading and quoting from Autopia

I am 40, old man river I guess. I am retired as a Pro and just trying to share my passions for cars. I have a lot of knowledge with detailing and engine care products. I also like learning new things about detailing and new cultures. Some of the best stuff I've learned has been from people oversees. I was pleasantly suprised on how knowledgable you guys in Singapore are, much more so that other oversees forums I've visited. It doesn't matter how long I've been detailing or how many cars I've detailed, I still can learn new things and new tips myself. I learn more every year, and before I found these forums I thought I knew it all as a Pro. I was wrong, I learned just as much from these forums as I did from the vendors who hawked all over me for my business. being a pro doesn't mean crap, just that you get money for doing it. I've learned more from hobbyists that I use on my own car than all the vendors that tried to get me to buy their stuff for my work. I hope to learn some stuff from you guys, products and other stuff we don't have in the US. I just want to be able to offer some of what I know too. I not trying to offend, but I'm not a NOOB. What's your deal Silgt, is this a hobby or are you a car massager? Isn't that what they call it overthere in Singapore?
