Jj - hollograms are usually left after using a cutting compound, to remove it would need further correction using something like 3m ultrafina

It can be done by hand but is hard work!

Is this Coldo's second Corsa after that green one with the funky exhaust?!

Thanks very much indeed for the above! This is on my weekday car not the porsche, so I might buy some of the above and have a go by hand! Whilst it may be hard work, I just dont trust myself with any kind of machinery! I can see me just adding further holos otherwise!

Most helpful post though

Doesn't take away from the fact it's a good job though
