Osren also produces their own abrasive called NAO Compound 56 that is specifically designed to be used on orange peel levelling jobs paired with their denim pad. With how well this job turned out, I'm sure it could turn out even better when paired with that compound.

Sir. 1)Try a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and distilled h2o to clean the surface. 2) Prime your pad with 5 dime sized dabs of polish and before turning on the machine rub the pad on the area you are about to work on. Priming the pad keeps the machine from jumping and so does keeping your hand on top of the machine above the pad. Work in a roughly 2’x2’ area using a cross hatch type pattern slightly overlapping each pass. *Do not squirt polish all over the place-you wasted a lot of polish As far as ceramic coatings some can make a mess out of a perfectly polished and prepped vehicle and actually need sanded off to start all over wasting time and money. Having three high quality different color microfibers is a great way to keep track of what order they are used in order to remove the excess ceramic, buff the area, then rebuff the area extending a bit past the 2’x2’ area you are working on while ceramic coating the vehicle

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Appreciate the tips!

[@3rekoatskustoms929]

I tried that pad a while ago and haven't used it since, but land to there is also a orange pad made of Corduroy .

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

It's good to use on flat surfaces I wouldn't use it over any edges

[@mundanestuff]

Ill gave to give this a try. My Austin Healey Sprite is more orange peel than not.

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

Worked pretty well for me

[@joeschmoe6908]

I've tried denim, and it works. The problem I had was the edges beginning to fray slightly and become twisted causing them to be bigher than the face of the pad. Since the pad is not flexible that caused pigtails. Perhaps the rotary version of the pad would not have this problem since it's softer and the material wraps around the top of pad with no exposed edge.

[@matthewgibb2640]

I started using these in 2010. The asians have been doing it way longer than that. Sanding is still better as denim round's it off, sanding slices through it and theres no heat. But denim has a place for sure. Reelmasters retro room is where my peel removal videos from back then are

[@Shinji-wu1ny]

Do you put a new clear coat on it after buffing out the orange peel? Do you do this step before you paint on a layer of clearcoat?

[@speedokoterefinishnetwork4937]

The buffing and polishing is the final step in the process. If I was to re clear coat it that would be called a flow coat

looks like you have some tiger striping in your base coat color. do you spray with an x pattern when you spray metallics or pearls? also aeropro a610 spray gun will lay clear way better and it's a cheap dyi gun for really cheap and you can toss it when it wears out.

I do the steps your done, looking much better, CAN I SPRAY MY CAR AGAIN WITH CLEAR AFTER DOING A TOTAL WIPE DOWN ON THE CAR, WITH EVERYTHING YOU DO, BEFORE YOU NORMALY DO BEFORE PAINT?

Leave your orange peel alone if you plan on keeping the car because, in time, pores so tiney that you can't see will increase exponentially and youll grow rust from beneath the paint. Your paint will look like as if you painted over rust when it gets bad. Some of that iron-x you spray will actually go down to the bare metal, and not all of it is surface iron that ironx is dealing with. I know it sounds a bit irrational, but I've lived the experience with my own vehicle. I have rust growing beneath perfectly fine looking paint everywhere I messed with the orange peel, and no rust everywhere i left the paint alone. And, yes, where the rust is growing still has clear coat. I also utilize a paint thickness guage.
