Holograms/"ticks".

What are some of my fellow Autopians using to remove "tick" or holograms after compounding? I am just curious to see what everyone is using and how well they like it. I am considering picking up M205 to add to my arsenal.

Thanks.

I have lots of options, Meg's D151, Optimum Polish, Meg's #80, Menzerna polishes.

It depends on how many steps the detailing consists of and how bad the compounding marks are... if it's a 3step, I usually leave a few marks with M105 or M95 on a wool pad, clean it up a bit with either M105 on white LC pad or something like SIP/orange(ish) then finish with M205, 106ff or FPII... this is the process most of the time.

I was very happy with now M205 worked with orange pads for this, both via PC/4" and Flex 3401/6.5". Credit for the idea goes to to ebpcivicsi as I wouldn't have thought to try the M205 with an aggressive pad.

For milder work like this, the M205 works very well with the *Griot's* orange pad too, which will leave things ready-to-wax.

Menzerna Polishes seriously... Try it.

M205/ white
Menz 85RD and/or 3M Ultrafina with blue pad

I think the hard part is keeping it swirl free once polished. Careful with what type of washing method, drying method and microfiber you use.
