UDM, LLC white & FPII...now holograms, why?

White pad with Menzerna Intensive Polish? That seems odd. Properautocare recommends at least an Orange pad for that. IP is more of an abrasive compound for removing swirls, etc., so why would you use a white pad?



Removing Swirls & Water Spots
in Clear Coat Finishes



I've tried that combo myself, based on the "start with the least abrasive pad first" theory. But I've never had any luck cutting away swirls with a white pad.



I have used white for water marks successfully.



And yeah... I've tried the Menzerna recommended speeds before... like the others I've never had any luck removing swirls with a PC DA at speed < 5.



Lastly - the first few times I used my PC I was a little scared, and I didn't work the polish long enough or at a high enough speed. The result was nasty haze on a black truck.



White pad and IP just seems odd to me. Maybe at a high enough speed it could some good...but I'd use Orange.
 
While I like ProperAutoCare and have ordered from them numerous times, they don't often have the best "advice" on their info pages.

that seem to be so!!
 
BRODEY1 I am in the same boat as you! I'm running my FPII at speed 5-6 and am polishing and still get holograms. I suppose I am not breaking down the polish but how long does this take? My FPII has never "dusted" and is still slightly wet and hazy when I finish polishing. Mind you this is with 2 passes at a pretty slow pace. Is FPII supposed to dust like all other Menz products?
 
FPII with a Flex is pretty gentle. You might be trying to get out holograms from your previous correcting step. That might be just a bit over FPII's ability. Try using a stronger polish with your finishing pad to remove the holograms, then go over it a final time with FPII.
