Which pad for 1Z High Gloss?

I have been using the Edge white foam polishing pad. I use it to get rid of holograms, however it doesnt seem to get rid of all of them. Am I not using it right or using the wrong pad? Maybe I should go with the 3M UF. Thanks!!

Eh..not really the wrong forum as you're using it by machine

The holograms might be too severe for the 1Z HG, I've run into that before. The HG is, IME/IMO a finishing polish on harder paints, so there's only so much correction (including holograms) that it can do.

So you might need a more aggressive product before the 1Z HG. IMO the HG is *really* great with a very mild pad for burnishing/jeweling medium-to-hard clear.

thanks for the reply. It seems as though it definitely helped but there were still some left over. I guess 3m UF it is!!!

(It was in the wrong forum earlier and moved)

jbone- It'll be interesting to see if the Ultrafina works better

Note that even though a lot of people here are using Ultrafina as the second of a two-step process, 3M really sells it as the third step of a three-step process.

It's actually 1Z that has their correction process down to just two products, which get me wondering- what left the holograms that're too severe for the 1Z HG?
