Holograms are cool

I brought my car to the dealership for an oil change today, and decided to browse around while I waited for my car. I came across a very nice black 650i convertible and when I looked at the front hood, it had some of the worst holograms I've ever seen. It was so bad, it looked like steam was rising from several parts of the hood. For fun, I ran my hand through some of the holograms, and a guy walking past me said, "Nice paint job, huh?"



I thought he was being sarcastic, so I said, "Yeah, there are holograms everywhere!"



Then he said, "I don't know how they do that, it looks really cool."



So there you have it, bad holograms are really cool.



As a side note, I didn't know the dealership provided a complimentary "rinse and dry" with every service. It unfortunately left about 20 light scratches on my trunk lid. Hopefully I can get them out with some ScratchX, but at least they didn't charge me for some cool holograms.
 
Yep, pretty awesome. This car was next to a black Accord I was detailing a few weeks ago.

To any detailers and detailing enthusiasts, holograms are certainly a defect and shd be rectified.

That's from our point of view.



But I've seen many car owners who don't even realise there's that "something" on their paintwork.

Even if they know, non-enthusiasts would not be bothered about it.

Others will just insist on a simple polish and wax, and expect to see a near-new car! LOL
 
OK, educate the nubee Autopian:

How are holograms formed? How can they be avoided? And how does one correct them??

What's the difference between a hologram and a buffing "tracer"??
 
tsk tsk I say....tsk tsk.... I saw a car drive by my house today...at first I thought it was metalic paint...then it came closer and noticed they were swirls and holos =[
