How to remove Orange Peel using a Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher

[HUMP DIESEL]

If you are talking about practicing on one of his used cars...great!


If you are talking about doing it on a used car lot and charging....I doubt you can talk many dealers into it. It just takes too long. If you charge even $30 an hour...it is $300 step in a process that will require light compounding and a finish polish on most vehicles


I see the CarPro Denim as a great solution for hobbyists like me

- Low cost
- Safer

I could see Pro's using it for OP matching on repaints

Damp sanding is just so much faster

Although, CarPro Denim does produce great results, they are not as "flat" as wet sanding. I did both on my truck.

My plan moving forward is to continue to attend Meguiar's Thursday Night Open Garage events to practice machine sanding with my PC

I don't do any of his lot cars, but I did bring back an Oldsmobile for him that was a personal car. I was only mentioning him, because he is always complaining about orange peel on factory paint.
