Holographic swirl burst
Holographic swirl burst
![[Image: NightmareBlackGold011.jpg]](http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/Shinefactory/NightmareBlackGold011.jpg)
Was given a tester from local car valet place of '3M holographic remover', which is applied after a wash and prior to, for example, autoglym super resin polish (which is what I use)
Anyone else used this, I think it works okay but really needs a machine to get the most out of it I reckon?!
My bonnet was pretty bad (in certain lights) following the previous owners use of the car wash and my attempt with a paint renovator, seems to have come up okay, need to have another go with a depp shine polish then wax I think?

However the polish should seal the holographic remover in so should retain the swirl freeness, then I shall re-polish it finally tomorrow with the 'ultra deep shine' (good for dark colours) then seal it all in with Autoglym HD Wax.
This should last about 2-3 months of free polish/waxing - Just wash, chamois, then buff it with a polishing cloth to retain the shine :thumbup1:
I must admit I do have a bit of a problem - I love cleaning cars :lol: Luckily though as white wheels are a nightmare, have to clean them everyother day!! especially with the OEM brake pads.

I was looking on this site for a while but didn't find this thread so thanks Steve I have had results from the Autoglym SRP but not like him, think I'll have to have another hit with it, bring on the Arnie Biceps :lol:
dan_harris I bet those wheels are a nightmare to keep clean :p
They are for sure Dan, bought a good wheel brush for £1.99 from Tesco which reaches nicely between the spokes and into the inside rim, luckily work has car washing facilities or I'm outside my house with a bucket
