Incorrect or excessive use of polishing compounds and tools can result in the removal of too much clear coat, leading to premature paint failure. Hologram effects, characterized by circular swirl marks, may appear if improper techniques are employed, detracting from the vehicle’s aesthetic. Furthermore, damage such as burning through the paint is possible if the buffing pad is held in one area for too long or excessive pressure is applied.
Understanding potential pitfalls is crucial for maintaining a vehicle’s finish. Proper execution helps ensure the longevity and appearance of the paintwork. Awareness of these drawbacks is integral to making informed decisions about paint correction and detailing processes.
