This happened to me as well Bodyshop ruined my black car. Filed a complaint to the attorney general in AZ and got no results. Body shop said I lied and asked them to polish my car. Now I have a great looking hologrammed vehicle. Body shop refused to pay for a professional detailer to correct their mistake. If you live in AZ and need bodywork dont use Fix It!!!
That before polishing job was a huge yikes! I'd be interested to see a video on after polishing/waxing clean up. We've all had that white crust show up a day or 2 after polishing/waxing around trim, lights, mouldings, etc. Would be great to see how the Chemical Guys folks clean that up
Awesome!! Here in Florida there are sooooo many "detailers"who just screw up alot... I am not one of them! I take it very seriously! Great products you guys have!! Song choice... You pick great songs btw!
Nick, just a question: If you had already detailed this vehicle before and it had the marring and holograms, then why was it back in the body shop and the same problem of marring and holograms were left all over the car? Thanks for a clear and concise explanation of how marring and holograms occur.
Hey Ozzcaddy! This is actually a completely different vehicle but just by coincidence it is the same model as the vehicle we featured last time. - CG Nick
I did the hologram thing to my black car with an old buffer machine. It looks horrible in the sunlight. I just ordered the torq15da kit. Cant wait to fix my learning mistake.
Was it new employee training day at this backyard “body shop”. I’ve seen some mistakes that leave you speechless but are caught BEFOFE they get to out of hand. The abuse to this VW is next level
Hi there! Machine polishing reveals a fresh layer of paint with a mirror like reflection. I would follow the same steps as in the video but layer on Black Light Glaze and Butter Wet Wax to enhance shine and add paint depth. - CG Nick www.chemicalguys.com/black-light-hybrid-glaze-and-sealant/black-light-glaze.html
I just start learning how to do everything and I have holograms and stuff on my truck and I was wondering exactly what I need and where I can get it to get them out
I have some haze spots left by my body shop from a bad polishing job. Will fixing it cause the clear coat to be even thinner and duller? Are there any downsides to just leaving it as is?
I got a new black car and I went for teflon coating. A moron left quite a bit buffing marks on it. Will removing a bit of clear coat will diminish the shine and longevity of the paint? I really need your help. Please 🙏🏽
Hi there! Polishing will remove a very fine layer of clear coat but this is the only way to refine the finish and remove swirls, scratches, and holograms. - CG Nick
@chemical guys I have a black car with this same issue. I have the v series sample kit and black car kit with the black light glaze and v07 products. I don’t have a rotary machine, what compounds should I use and in what order, also can the car look good if polished by hand?
went to a local Toyota dealership the other day to pick up a part and there was an older black camry there that had the worst holograms that i have ever seen in my life. i dont think i could even make out the color at first until the sun got hidden by a cloud.
I have a question and really hope that someone can help me. I bought a rotary for my truck to polish and ended up with holograms. I should have purchased a dual action polisher instead. Anyway I've tried everything and cannot get rid of them and heard that mineral spirits will get rid of them. Is that true? Id really appreciate it if someone could please help. Thanks
Lol the detailer that buffed that vw shouldn’t be called a detailer....I’m thinking lazy is a better description for the individual. Either the paint was too fresh and it out gassed after buffing or he just sucked and didn’t get it hot enough to melt the da scratches together and judging by the swirl I would say he just sucked...love chemical guys products!!!
I’ve recently bought a year old vw and the paintwork has a lot of marring from someone’s terrible polishing skills. The paintwork has quite a bit of lush scratches too. I’ve bought c4 and p4 would it be best to use both for this job after I clay bar the surface?
Just got a brand new chevy and thought it would be a good idea to buy a buffer and polish it soi could ceramic coat it... later found out I hologramed the fuck out of it. You can only tell in the sun light at an angel tho because its white ..... Looks like i got some learning to do.

Weather is finally getting nice! I have been itching to use my Chemical Guys polishing kit to do a paint correction on car.
Happy detailing!

I was surprised you removed so much using an orbital. Nice work.
Thanks so much for watching!!

I did the hologram thing to my black car with an old buffer machine. It looks horrible in the sunlight. I just ordered the torq15da kit. Cant wait to fix my learning mistake.
What was the result?
@@mscuppycake23 The car looks amazing even when the sun hits it.
did you use the polish that they were using in the video or a different one?
Is the V38 neccessary after V36 or can I jump straight to glaze/sealant/wax ?
Nice short video that explains the pitfalls of the rotary gone nasty.
Rotary polishing takes a lot of practice to perfect but when used properly the results are amazing!

Loving the Torq15, need more videos of the machine performing!
Thank You!!
First off love your product! i am currently done a dark blue Honda for a customer, Thanks for the tips as it was in the same situation on this car.
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Just picked up some of these pads and polish, love these demo videos. Thanks Chemical Guys!
Enjoy your detailing products!!

Great video! How would you go about getting the deepest look on GM black?

Thank you! I have been using your products for a few years and love it. Already spent over a G.
I just start learning how to do everything and I have holograms and stuff on my truck and I was wondering exactly what I need and where I can get it to get them out
love this dude, seems disciplined
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Great videos, love the products. I use them on my vehicles all the time
Hey there! Glad to have you as part of the Chemical Guys family!

Some obvious advice to people is to not be like me and buy a black car in the rain. The next dry day I found out my X3 was completely hologramed.
I have some haze spots left by my body shop from a bad polishing job. Will fixing it cause the clear coat to be even thinner and duller? Are there any downsides to just leaving it as is?

Chemical Guys thank you Nick
Would love to see a 2x2 section not edited and done in real time.
After applying V36 & V38 ULTIMATE FINAL POLISH is that the final step or do u need to add wax?
Hi Scott! After polish, apply your favorite ceramic, glaze, sealant and/or wax to lock in your hard work and repel harsh elements.
- CG Nick
Hey CG do you recommend a clay block or clay bar?
How long would you guys say a buffing pad should typically last?
Hey there! With proper use and maintenance, a polishing pad can last several years when used for personal detailing.
- CG Nick
@chemical guys I have a black car with this same issue. I have the v series sample kit and black car kit with the black light glaze and v07 products. I don’t have a rotary machine, what compounds should I use and in what order, also can the car look good if polished by hand?
Does chemical guys have any body shop safe products?
Hey!
Which type of products were you looking into?
I can't believe the shop that did such a terrible job would actually allow the car to be returned to the owner without fixing their crappy detail.
I like the v36 with orange or green pad and v38 with a white. Its been very reliable
Great feedback!!
Good job , Nick
Hi Richard! Glad you enjoyed the video.
- CG Nick
what about video on how to best remove scratches from mirors,glass and headlights?
Wow that looks awesome !! Great job 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the video!!

That's crazy!
For the v38 on the second pass what polishing pad did you guys use ?
Hey! Use a White Hex-Logic Polishing Pad with V38 Final Polish.
- CG Nick
Crisp and VERY clear - old git, UK
Thanks so much for tuning in!
How do you handle the polisher around a crease/body line when removing marring?
Hey! It is perfectly fine to pass a dual action or random orbital polisher over body lines.
Great basic steps
Hey! Glad you enjoyed the video!

what's a good clay bar and how to use it
Hey! Check out this video.

I have a question and really hope that someone can help me. I bought a rotary for my truck to polish and ended up with holograms. I should have purchased a dual action polisher instead. Anyway I've tried everything and cannot get rid of them and heard that mineral spirits will get rid of them. Is that true? Id really appreciate it if someone could please help. Thanks
What if I haven’t waxed my car or anything because of my ceramic coat that I got in February what could be the cause of these
Lol the detailer that buffed that vw shouldn’t be called a detailer....I’m thinking lazy is a better description for the individual. Either the paint was too fresh and it out gassed after buffing or he just sucked and didn’t get it hot enough to melt the da scratches together and judging by the swirl I would say he just sucked...love chemical guys products!!!
Hey!
That's why we like to grab a TORQ and do it ourselves. The person who buffed it at the repair shop clearly didn't know what they were doing!
@@ChemicalGuys Probably a rotary with a wool pad from the looks of the marring....seen it often.
Looking forward to this..ad always your videos arw quality.
Thanks so much for your kind words!

Just wondering what the approximate total elapsed time was for this job?
Hi Mark! Thanks so much for watching, every vehicle is different however it can take 4 to 8 hours for a full paint correction.
I’ve recently bought a year old vw and the paintwork has a lot of marring from someone’s terrible polishing skills. The paintwork has quite a bit of lush scratches too. I’ve bought c4 and p4 would it be best to use both for this job after I clay bar the surface?
Light scratches**
Hey! Start with a test spot using P4, if you need more cut then use C4 and refine with P4.
Can holograms be removed by hand?
Hi Angel! It is possible to use a light polish by hand to remove holograms however machine polishing will achieve the best results.
Can vss fix holograms ?
Hey Noel! Yes, VSS can be used to refine holograms as well moderate scratches and swirls.
Well done!
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Whoever done that job first i would have used the polisher with the roughest sand paper on their face...
Can you make a video where you polish a car using an angel grinder? Cheers
What number setting do you use for v38?
Hi there! Use speed setting 5 or 6.
My fav part of buffing is watching the guy take the compound and just sling it at the car and get it everywhere 😂
Nick can you do mine next... it looks this bad 😩
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Can it be applied to a Boat?
Absolutely!
Just curious how much does Chemical guys charge for a full detail
1k
Oh man I tried to buff my car for the first time and left so much buff marks :( need help
Hey Francisco! Practice makes perfect.
So you’re saying polishing will remove some of my clear coat?
Hi William! Yes, polishing refines swirls and scratches by removing a very fine amount of clear coat.
I made the mistake of taking my Acura with copper pearl to a body shop attached to a dealer. Almost as bad as this but damn.
😲😲
How about a 6th gen black Camaro 1Le for a show?
Hey! The same process and products can be used for any gloss finish paintwork.
I-spy 75 Land Cruiser ..had a 1963 pick up
That's awesome! Check out this video.

Why did you choose the red backing plate instead of the yellow one? Thank you from Québec,Canada
It's a flexible backing plate. Helps you with curved panels.
great video again nick.can we say wtf .who excepts work like this. ALL bodyshops suck...b well
Just got a brand new chevy and thought it would be a good idea to buy a buffer and polish it soi could ceramic coat it... later found out I hologramed the fuck out of it. You can only tell in the sun light at an angel tho because its white ..... Looks like i got some learning to do.
Thanks so much for watching!
I hope the owner sent the bill you gave them to the bodyshop that did this horrible work.
It clearly looks that the scratches are created intentionally. There's no body in the earth that will do this terrible job.
3d vehicle artists googling how to create these effects. Actual car owners googling how to remove these effects.
Happy detailing!
Can you show us how get rid of holograms with rotary polisher?
Hi Luka! Great idea, thanks for the suggestion!

ITS A GOLFFF R!!!!!!!! 😝
First comment!
Happy detailing!

This happened to me. Fckng took the car to get a polish and came back with more swirls than before fml 🤦🏻
