I have a dark green Infiniti I30t and the paint has sustained some slight, hand-induced hologramming. I intend to address this using SSR1 and my PC, but should I use a Propel blue pad or Propel green pad? Any other suggestions will be gratefully accepted.



Thanks.
 
Well the Autopian approach to things like this would be to start with the least agressive product pad combination that is a vailable to you. If that does not work use a more aggressive pad or product. With the pads and product that you mentioned the blue pad is a polishing pad and the green pad is a light cutting pad. Blue first followed by green if you take that kind advise.
 
SSR1 is a fine polish. Do you have SSR2.5 with you as well? I've used SSR1 with a blue propel pad and found that it was good for hazing. For holograms, you might need to use the green pad or even SSR2.5.



Between the green and blue propel pads, they are not coarse enough to to cause marring with SSR1 as long as you have sufficient product.
 
It really depends on what the paint is like. As cwcad said, start with the least aggresive route first, the blue pad. Try that on a section and afterwards inspect it to see if the hologramming is gone. If not, bump up to a green pad. Polish and inspect. Upgrade the aggressiveness as necessary.
 
You may find that SSR1 just will not cut it, no pun intended, no matter what pad you use. I find its great for removing haze from my more aggressive polishes but really has very little polishing ability itself.

I think that SSR1 on an orange pad still will not do the work of SSR2 on a blue pad. Its just a super mild polish.
 
I'd try the green pad right away, and since I'm skeptical that it will be enough, I'd recommend you look into buying some SSR2 to try next.
