I did have problems with holograms and a blue wool pad one time. I was doing the neighbor's 2003 black Honda Accord. I had used IP and a blue pad for correcting the soft Honda paint. It corrected the paint very well, but a sun inspection revealed huge amounts of holograms. I did one more pass with 106ff and the white wool, and it turned out beautiful. Soft paint really does seem susceptible to wool induced holograms. However, they are very easy to get out with white wool and a good finishing polish. Using a high quality finishing polish with green or blue wool removes holograms and leaves an amazing finish on harder clears.

I use HTEC quite often with the Edge pads, but for some reason I can't get it to work well with the purple foamed wool. Yellow edge wool and HTEC is a very powerful combination. Expect lots of compounding haze, swirls, and holograms with that combo, but it corrects *very* fast. I don't like the .357 magnum (or heavy cut... whatever their name for it is this week) with wool at all. SIP gives just as much cut as .357 does, and it does it faster and finishes down much better. .357 gives me huge hologram problems.

Yes, holograms are definitely a possibility with wool, there's no doubt. But using the correct polish/pad combination can completely get rid of the problem from the start. And if you do get holo problems, selecting the right wool with 106ff will knock em out *fast*.

The Menzerna line really seems to play nicely with wool. They all cut fast and finish down nicely with minimal or easily removed holos.
