CarPro Denim Orange Peel Removal Pad

[BlackReign]

Have any of you used the CarPro Denim Orange Peel Removal Pad - http://www.autogeek.net/orange-peel-removal-pads.html

I've been contemplating wet sanding my car for some time and this looks like it may be an alternative (maybe). I just got done watching a video of the results of using it with Megs 100, and for mild orange peel, it didn't seem to turn out too bad.

My question would be is the paint on the car in the video single stage or two-stage? If I have orange peel, it would be underneath the clear. So I don't see how one can remove orange peel without removing the clear. I would think the orange peel is actually in the paint not the clear. Of course, I could be wrong though...not my intention to make things confusing

Reading a review on it now...but if anyone has used it, would love some more feed back.

No, I had the same thoughts....that's why I started looking for feedback

Interesting pad for sure...read some reviews myself

Subscribed. Curious to see how beneficial these are...

Here is another write up.

From what I'm gathering at this point, the Denim pad would be best used on repaints while the Velvet pad would be better for original paint.


Still reading....

Interesting.... I may have to try these out.

Well, do some research....it seems the denim can possibly be a bit to harsh for stock paint.

I won't be using them on my cars lol, I'll give them a shot of some of the real cruddy ones that come in. Both the GT500 and 5.0 are nearly flawless.

OK....I just didn't want anyone on here using it, jacking something up then saying, "YOU SAID....."

lol

Wow... never seen these before! Very interested in this.

Yeah there won't be any finger pointing, I have a Scion TC DAily that I can test it out on as well.

I do a lot of professional detailing in the Chicagoland area along with automotive performance work so I'm curious to see how well they work.

I haven't used them but have heard good things. I would just be cautious do to the cutting ability it may be easy to cut through the clear alot quicker then a MF or foam cutting pad.

Wet sand with 1500 grit 3m paper, compound & polish with quality stuff. Don't wax after you do this. Wait atleast 30 days before waxing

The orange peel is in the top coat. So if it's single stage then the orange peel is in the paint. If it's two stage then the peel is in the clear. I talked to a couple of painters that would put an extra coat of clear so they have more material to smooth out.

This is true. An you can get it out with ease.

Single stage is tricky cause you're actually color sanding, and that could get dangerous quick if you're not careful
