Default What product would best suite my needs

Alright so I have some holograms left over from the body shop where they spot buffed the car. It's not all over which is a relief. Under the door molding on the drivers side and the passenger door. I was wondering if swirl x would do the trick or do I have to step up to M205? Thanks in advance.

I've had really good results with the M105/205 combo.

Are you going to be doing this by hand or machine? If machine, are you going to be using a rotary buffer or a random-orbital machine?

I planned on trying it by hand but I'm not against buying a cheap orbital polisher. Like this one..

I've just decided to leave it to the pro's. Between M205 and a cheap orbital and other misc stuff I'd have the same amount in it.
$75 dollars and he will polish out the swirl marks and hand wax the whole car. That works for me.

What are holograms? I've got a bunch of lines/waves in wax that look like a hologram card.

The thing you have to remember is that if they installed the holograms with a rotary, you very likely may need a rotary (and some skill) to remove them.

I too am a HUGE fan of the M105/205 compound and polish, it's TOP notch stuff! I have to do it myself here, cuz I don't know of any professional detailers within a reseaonable distance from me.

If you REALLY want a product that blows you away, try Zaino brothers products. It's what is used on high end Corvettes, Mustangs, Porsches and cars of that nature... It's a long, drawn out process, but DEFINETLY worth the work. I can hardly believe the results.
