Need help removing orange peel? (https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-mike-phillips-your-detailing-questions-/122375-need-help-removing-orange-peel.html)
I found a new member asking questions in the Chatbox. I kindly let him know he was in the Chatbox. The Chatbox is for small talk. To have a real conversation a person wants to "Start a thread".
He said he was going to take the conversation to the forum but I never saw anything pop up? So I'm starting this for him...

I tried these new lake foam pads on my 3401 and can’t seem to remove orange peel I’m using with cg 32 and geon compound + no luck
Hi Ando94,
You can't really remove orange peel from car paint via buffing. I have a picture from the early 1990's where I DID remove orange peel by only buffing but it's a LOT of hard work and really not the way to do it.
Damn.... I think I have an article on everything....
Can orange peel be removed or lessoned by just machine compounding? (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/wet-sanding-cutting-buffing/50534-can-orange-peel-removed-lessoned-just-machine-compounding.html)
Here's with a Porter Cable and CarPro Denim Pads
How to remove Orange Peel using a Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/69156-how-remove-orange-peel-using-porter-cable-dual-action-polisher.html)
My preferred method is a technique I call Scuff and Buff and I teach it in some of my classes.
