![]() For those that will read this into the future that might not know what the problem is shown in the full size picture, I've cropped out the section where the holograms are visible.
![]() The thing to keep in mind is that these holograms are not just in this section, they are all over the hull. You need the sun to light up the hull to see them or in this case photograph them and sometimes this can be kind of tricky. Holograms are technically scratches inflicted into the gel-coat from the use of these three things,
The millions and millions of scratches increase the surface area by 2 to 3 times the original surface are (if not more), and thus accelerates the oxidation process. There's nothing beneficial or positive about buffing out a boat and leaving holograms in the hull. Nothing. At my boat detailing classes I teach guys how to finish out hologram-free using dual action polishers like,
