no everyone this is not my work I found it over on autopia, Is this the cause of not prepping the pad with quick detailer?? using too little polish?? leaving the udm/pc in one spot for too long?? Is this what they call holograms?? thanks!

You can see both holograms and cob webbing (a/k/a swirl marks) in the finish of this car. This was most likely caused by an unskilled detailer using a rotary buffer.

IIRC the thread on Autopia that this picture is from mentioned that this car was on a car dealer's lot. Good job on the detailing stealership.

i just gotta wonder whether he paid someone to do that!!

as mikeyc suggests, it would make sense that a dealer prob did it- they are known for messing up paint!

if this was caused by a rotary, what would cause the rotary to do this?? Did he leave it in one spot too long?? dirty pads?? too little compound?
