It is hologram city. Clearly someone with a rotary (but no skill or brains) went crazy with it and now there are hologramed buffer trails basically across the entire paint surface. When I asked how it got that way, my dad said he'd had this guy do the work and he didn't see the problem until I showed him nice shiny swirl-and-hologram-free paint.

Can I remove these with a PC? If so, I need a plan (in Prima language) on what will likely remove it. I have a yellow pad and I think I also have some Cut around here somewhere. Knowledge about the hardness of the paint on these cars is also appreciated!

Good luck with that, that's a looong car, I cannot imagine how many hours it takes to fully detail an XJS !!
I'm also curious, my dad has a 2003 Daimler model that is in need of some attention, and he asked me to take care of it next time I fly back to visit my parents...

Are those hologram as bad as you make them sound ? or is it just in a few areas ? pics ?
