I'm guessing that the Harbor Freight polisher is a rotary. You might have trouble avoiding holograms with that.

The car i am trying to detail has a cheap single stage paint.

Be careful as some single stage doesn't respond well to significant polishing (other single stage handles it just fine).

The paint is full of swirls and part of it has holograms.

You may very well have to do the holograms by hand if you're working with a rotary. Those are *caused* by rotary work and are really just very shallow scratches.

So i was planning on using mequiars swirl remover in order to get rid of the swirls. Anyone know if this stuff works good or not?

I'm guessing that you're talking about #9 v2.0. It's primarily fillers and doesn't really do much swirl *removal*. Yuck, IMO. It'll just hide the problems temporarily.

if not, what is a good product that is easily available?

A newer-tech Meguiar's product like Scratch-X v2.0 or Swirl-X would be a lot better IMO.

Oh, and Welcome to Autopia!
