Fixed holograms on my doors

Solidjake · 04-25-2019, 04:02 PM

Hey guys. I was able to get some time off and was able to remove holograms from my all four doors. When i get some more time I will polish the roof/trunk/quarter panels/rear bumper. Front is perfect since it was re-sprayed a few months ago.

I completely stripped all of the old sealant on the paint with a combination of Sonax fallout cleaner, light duty claybar and Griot's paint prep spray. After that I used a Rupes 21 with a Meguiars microfiber polishing pad and 3M perfect-it step 2 polish doing two passes. Next was Meguiars yellow foam polishing pad with 3M perfect-it step 3 ultra fine polish. Last step was applying Jescar powerlock sealant.

Awesome, you will enjoy it and learn a lot about taking care of your car. It did take a while because I had to completely clean off the doors to the bare paint. I would say up tp to two hours each side (for two doors) which included decontamination (wash/iron remover/clay/paint prep spray), polish with two passes, ultrafine with one pass and two layers of sealant. A lot of time was spent prepping the doors
