Need help removing orange peel?
Need help removing orange peel?
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...

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?
Here's with a Porter Cable and CarPro Denim Pads
How to remove Orange Peel using a Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher
My preferred method is a technique I call Scuff and Buff and I teach it in some of my classes.

Re: Need help removing orange peel?
Hey mike
I’m currently working on some upgrades that I purchased for my 2018!Fk8 Civic. Type R
and well I’m not a professional painter by all means and I’ve watched and tried to understand as much as possible, with that being sad I purchased the flex 3403 to use since my Da (Flex3401) just didn’t seem to get it done.
However I seen you guys use it and it does phenomenal I’ve tried the microfiber pads I’ve tried a few compounds no luck so I ordered the Meguiars kit and I’m hoping that’ll do the job I wish I would of knew the 3493 wasn’t that great for cars I just liked how I can go from a 1in to 7in pad that compared with the e peices i thought it’d be a smooth set up I just need to get a wall rack lot keep the machines from laying around
