Are you talking about the little lines?
You may have under or over worked the polish. SFX's were hard for me to get used to.
How many passes over the same spot did you make?
What Pattern did you use? Up and down? Then Side to side?
When you tried to remove the polish, was it hard to remove?
SFX was really touchy for me. I found that using two up and down, and two side to side (Alternating each time, so up and down, side to side, up and down, side to side) Worked really well for me.. Five passes or more, and the polish became really hard to remove. Use a Fair amount of pressure with it, it needs heat to break down properly, and work correctly.
Also, Follow up with SFX-2 and 3, use the white pads for them, or even maybe a softer pad than white.
Orange Edge pads are the most agressive, correct? I would use a less agressive pad too. And make sure when you are removing the polish, you aren't pressing too hard, because MF Towel (I know, because it happened to me) can also leave scratches which leave spider webs in the paint. Berlina is a pain to polish, but when done correctly, It's sex.
Good luck. Stick with it.

looks like holograms to me.
First go back and see if you can remove the holograms with either a QD, if not, use a IPA mix.
IF that doesnt work, go back again with a white pad and the sfx1. This time, give the polish a minute to really break down and work it in until the polish flashes to dry state.
Im not familiar with Sounus products but Im guyess that the sfx1 is a very mild polish.
