Question on getting rid of rotary holograms

Hello,

Purchased a used 2012 Ford Fusion in Steel Metallic Blue back in April. The car dealership used a rotary on the car at some point in time. While the paint looks mostly defect free, when you see the paint in the sunlight, you can see the "3D" hologram look. I have the following options: HD Cut+, HD Polish+, HD Adapt and Meguiars D300. For pads, I have 5.5" Buff & Shine Orange cutting, Green polishing and Black finishing, as well as Megs 5" Microfiber Cutting discs. Any chance anyone thinks I could get away with Polish+ on a black finishing, or green polishing pad. I would like to one step this if possible. I am fairly sure Adapt will do the job with the orange pad, if not the green pad, I just don`t want to have to polish out after Adapt if I can help it. I will be using a GG6 with a 5" B&S backing plate, or the Megs backing plate if I have to step up the the DAMF pad and compound. I just don`t have much experience with removing holograms, so seeking any advice I can get. Thank you!

Each paint and defect is definitely different and the best option is to start lighted and go up from there. So in your case i`ld try the polish with green pads if that doesn`t work try the adapt with the green pad, or the polish with the orange pads

Buffer trails are usually removed much easier than swirls. You`re all-n-one product should suffice, starting with your least aggressive pad.
 
Some holograms are incredibly difficult to remove even though they`re "so shallow". No, I don`t know why, but sometimes that`s how it is while other times they come out just as easily as one would expect with such presumably shallow marring.
 
Thank you for the replies. I ended up using Adapt with a Buff & Shine Green pad, speed 4. Worked well, happy with the results. Holograms are no more!
