Holograms

Wax Waster
A few weeks ago I put on 2 coats of wax back to back. (this was when my neighbor started with their leaves)

Since then I have washed the car a few times (black).

After the car is dry and in the sun, I can see holograms on the side doors. I know after they started with their leaves I rused and probably used too much pressure in taking off the wax.

How do I get rid of them before spring detail? (without stripping the car and re-buffing)

Ideas?

Ideas on what caused it (or am i right about too fast and too much pressure?)

I have long felt that many of the "holograms" we see are actually in the wax buildup on a vehicle.
You don't mention what you used for a wax, but you might try going over an area with the same wax and see if it levels anything out.
I'm not one for layering so I can't speak from experience, but I have read that applying another layer of wax can soften the first layer because of the solvents in the second layer. :dunno:
In your case, this might be a good thing.
Maybe even going over an area with a QD would help.
 
I've got soooo much wax on it now.
Really don;t want to strip it and start over, so I may try the add another coat and see what happens.
 
I really wouldnt call them holograms. Holograms are from the improper use of a rotary buffer. The marks probably look like wash marks. The only way I can see them going away is to polish them out. That happened to my car a few months back and I used PwS with great results. It got out the rubbing marks but stripped the car of wax at the same time. It's the price you have to pay.

Just work on one panel so you don't waste a lot of time and effort doing something that isn't working to the entire vehicle.
Do you have a cleaner wax you feel comfortable with?
Poorboy's PwC, PwS, Klasse AIO, Meguiar's ColorX would all be easy to use. Just apply and remove them by hand, then follow up with your wax of choice.
