I`m running into a weird issue when polishing the hood on my black car. It`s a 96 750iL, and the paint is pretty nice for a 10 year old car. The hood looks like clearcoat, but for some reason looks like it`s a different shade from the rest of the car.
When I`m using a Random Orbital and polishing the hood, I get a black transfer on to the pad. It`s only from the hood. I`ve cleaned the pad and then worked other sections of the car and none of the other panels bring this black transfer up. This happened last week when I polished using Griot`s Machine Polish 3 and this week with the Griot`s Paint Sealant. I`ve used 3M Adhesive remover to make sure it wasn`t some kind of wax/polish/sealant on the paint. The cloth didn`t show anything when using the adhesive remover. When I did the claybar it didn`t transfer anything.
I`m pretty sure all panels are original. Prior to buying the car, I had a pre-purchased inspection and they said the car had all original paint still.
Any ideas? :think2
One other question: What is `hologram`ming and what does it look like? What causes it?
Thanks,
Mike
