How To Get Rid of Orange Peel Without Sanding

[@kandyman5315]

DENIM PADS OUT NOW : kandylandd.com

[@steverosenthal5723]

I see there are 2 options for these pads on your website. Are they 5 or 6 inch?

[@kandyman5315]

Mine are 7 inch

[@armastat]

so i could just rip up the old lades hip-huggers as well? lol. Seriously tho, this works because of the - lacking proper word here - the cell size of the 'grit'? As well as being a flexible vs hard medium? I mean if the grit or grinding medium is larger than the orange peel size you end up grinding down the tops vs getting between the bumps of peel?

@@kandyman5315 did you use other polishing compound other than the 3M 36060?

[@cmackscott761]

I painted cars for a living from the 70s to the late 80s. I'm now 71 with zero health issues and hopefully, that's encouragement to you painters out there. Supposedly when I painted cars, the isocyanates in Supermax catalyst for example were a serious health hazard. RM Supermax was pretty much bottom of the barrel compared with today's paints. I don't regret the years I painted cars because it's a creative occupation. You never get tired of looking at one of your amazing paint jobs.

I'm 47 and want to take classes, it's something I kinda regret not doing in my 20s, I started out as an artist and feel it's time. 😊

[@ryanl8653]

This is definitely an advanced skill-level process, things can go wrong very quickly if you don't know what you are doing. CarPro Has had these pads out for a while and they work very well. They claim the Denim is equivalent to 2000 grit with a suitable compound. They also have a less aggressive "velvet" pad equivalent to 3000 grit. The wrong compound will also make things difficult, as it will dry and cake up. A spray bottle of water helps keep everything liquid and extends the cut/working time.

[@kandyman5315]

Thanks for the support and insight

[@jayroberts4900]

Nice one Ryan. I’m competent with paint correction just not at the sanding level yet. So these are very very interesting for me. What liquids work well with these? Also at what speed? I was going to use these with rupes blue heavy cut or mezerna 400.. Just not sure on what speed to run it at as I’d want to keep temps down? Also can we use a regular panel wipe along side the water? Ta mate

[@ryanl8653]

@@jayroberts4900 I find they work better with compounds that are non-diminishing. While the Menz. 400 will work, for lighter peel removal and will finish better, it is a diminishing abrasive. Menz. 300 will work faster for moderate orange peel. Compounds marketed for "marine" use (ie gel coat), tend to have stronger abrasives and more polishing oils, that play well with these pads.

[@maxzanderv1]

The denim pad is for aftermarket paint, the velvet pad is for oem paint.

[@irecruitfish7410]

Did you ever end up doing this or getting your answer to this? I'm in the same boat after using Menzerna 400 with a purple wool pad in my car I think has more orange peeled than before​@@jayroberts4900

Been using denim pads for the last 5 years !!! Absolutely amazing !.

[@JR-ho5qm]

Fellow painter here, and I couldn’t agree more, I prefer a really nice off the gun look, as to a full cut and polish job. Of course I’m ok with de nibing and some trizacking if need be. Looks great! 👍🏻

[@JimmyJiveJones]

Im so glad this video popped up in my feed. Been doing this for 2 decades and ive never heard of this method, cant wait to try it. my boss seems to think that pinch back should never happen, even on tri-coats. I use a value clear so it happens alot.

[@davetrn]

just paint tri coats at end of shift ,clear tomorrow, problem solved.

[@jasoneverley8164]

What are you calling pinch back, shrinking?

[@seanhall4098]

That black panel looks like black chrome... awesome.

[@chuckster243]

I'm glad you pointed out the qualities of having some peel, I always strive for that glass-flat-look, never thought of it from your perspective. You definitely changed my perspective on this. At about 6:42 I can see the difference in the deck lid, and I will certainly be buying a denim pad. I like buffing, kinda weird, I know. For me it maximizes what I've accomplished. Next job, which is big and starts.....next week, gets some "tasteful peel". The 442, is anyone's dream, very awesome my man, very awesome.

I love the denim pads . They save lots of work on these new cars . Taking out orange peel . And now they have one with a different material that is a finer cut . Like using 3000 grit .

[@lesskinner8588]

Very handy ! As many here stated, never heard of them before, and I've been in modern shops recently. But a quick google finds them here in Australia 6-1/2" dia and 1.5" thick. Definitely getting one (or 2) to keep on hand. I bet you have to watch the sharp edges though ! Edit - just ordered 3 today $18 ea, easy to find online.

[@thomastucker5998]

I agree, paint jobs need to have a little orange peel to look natural. I used to paint for a living. I did mostly collision repair so I had to match the factory color and the texture. I’ve seen a lot of so called custom painters that just dump buckets of clear on cars. They do it so they can sand out all their mistakes like runs, dry spots and heavy orange peel. You are not doing the customer any favors by doing this. The mil thickness will be too high and the paint will probably fail long before a properly painted car. You shouldn’t need any more than 3 coats of clear. And paint with a little peel will always be slightly cooler in surface temperature than paint that has been sanded smooth which also helps longevity.

[@kandyman5315]

Could've said it better myself!! Totally agree.
