SRP on Holograms?

My car has some bad holograms after I let a detailer who obviously didn't know much about detailing off on my car. They aren't really swirl holos, but rather seem to be in very large arcs, extending maybe 4 feet a piece. They appear at a 60-90 degree angle with the paint under sunlight and are very unsettlingly.



I want to go pick up some SRP. I was wondering if it could hide/polish out these blemishes without doing a full polish like I normal would?

Wow! Looks great! Did you work it in by hand or machine like a normal polish or did you put it on more like a glaze?
 
I used a Porter Cable XP with a White Lake Country 5.5 flat foam pad. I varied the speed from 4 to 6 to 5 and I made about 10-12 total passes. I moved the machine across the panel very slow about a couple inches per second with medium pressure. Barely any dust and effortless residue removal. Great product.
 
Great photos David...nice demo.



SRP is one of the best concealing LSP around. Looks great as well. :up
 
Hey David, you and I haven't, uhm....debated... anything since "waxing fresh repaints"! Maybe this can be another big :argue!



(Just kidding folks, David Fermani and I are pals.)



I can't get any kind of true correction out of SRP...well, maybe just a *little* on really soft paint. Not enough to correct holograms on anything I've ever had 'em on. SRP *does* conceal such stuff really (and I mean *REALLY*) well though...sometimes hides stuff I never woulda expected.



Correction or concealment? Discuss....
 
SRP's kinda the Jack of all trades - but it's best attributes is concealing light defects, glossing out paint and locking it in for a decent amount of time. A true AIO. I've never relied on it to remove anything, just love it for maintenance details and quickies. Have you ever seen DaveKG's test on it? I think he's achieved real world correction from it.

The only test like that of his that I recall is the one where you couldn't really say whether it was correction or concealing, but I might be thinking of the wrong test.



Where is he anyhow? I no sooner figured out how to use the SunGun the way he'd been raving about and now he's nowhere to be found here! That young-un is one goood detailer.

Heh heh, just when I thought you and I might have a vigorous disagreement, we end up being on the same page again per usual :D

[Off-topic warning!]

BTW, Accumulatorette wants me to lower my pricepoint on the MPV replacement...that's not making my search any easier :o Too bad that Blazer was [yuck].
 
I applied some SRP by hand after a quick dawn wash to get whatever wax was on there off, and WOW; this stuff is great. Most of the holograms are hidden now with the exception of one. Also, it left a nice gloss to boot.



I do have one question though (I'm a noob to fillers), Could I hit it with some FK425 to keep the shine/slickness up or would that wash away the fillers? Could I put on some natty's blue on top?

Check these 2 threads out. It looks like the more you use this product the better it corrects.



AIO Shootout Part 1 - DodoJuice, Autoglym, BiltHamber & TurtleWax - Detailing World



** Swirl Removal By Hand - Test ** - Detailing World

Autoglym Super Resin Polish

The first of the "all-in-one" productsm contains fillers, leaves an acryllic sealent layer too.



Before:





This was applied in circular motions and straight lines, for about two minutes per hit and the residue removed with ease (a little bit of duist though). Easy to use product...



Results after three hits:





Results after five hits:





Out of all the products tested, this one achieved the best defect removal - even deeper swirls were mostly dealt with... these were mainly filled, but as an option by hand for defect work, SRP is hard ignore. Excellent results from an underrated product, left a nice glossy finish too! :thumb:



Very good results, with many of the swilrs masked and hidden, however for me the finish left by SRP had the edge both interms of glass and defect removal... Still, a good set of results from Klasse.

David Fermani- Yeah, that's the thread I thought you were referring to. AS I READ IT, he didn't differentiate between filling and ("true", mechanical) correction.



We might be arguing the same viewpoint here, wouldn't be the first time :D Yeah, SRP is great stuff, in part because it does some nice concealing along with all the other normal AIO-type product stuff. I just don't get the kind of abrasive correction out of it that I get out of, say...ZAIO.
