I have a Mazda CX-9, dark blue, and it’s mainly on the drivers door that is the problem area. Is there a fine polish I could use by hand to correct? Any recs for a product and proper technique? Thanks!
 
You can remove holograms by hand but man, your arms and shoulders are going to get one heck of a work out. You could be really sore the next day. I am guessing you are wanting to avoid buying an expensive polisher? If that is your reason for wanting to do it by hand, maybe consider getting a sub $20 palm sander like this one:


and if you go to the detailing section, you should be able to find a few medium polishing pad and a bottle of Meguiars polish.

If you are hard core about doing it by hand, I would recommend spending some time watching Youtube videos for technique.

I’ve never used a machine before, always done everything by hand. It’s just the door I’m looking to do, so I figured it was doable by hand… But when I look at all of the polishes on Autogeek, they all have instructions for orbital/DA machines only… Thanks for the reply!
 
You can certainly work by hand, as noted, it may take a lot of elbow grease. You might want to try Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, which you can find locally. Might have to follow up with Ultimate Polish.
 
If you're nervous using a DA, just go to a professionnal detailer and they will do miracle for you.
