That looks like the nanoscrub. I personally use the speedy towel prep because I like the design better, but I think both would work. After using the speedy towel prep in FINE grade, I would recommend to everyone for quick decon.

Still, has anyone used the orange peel pad?

Not CarPro's.

I had already read about these pads some time ago. I think the potential for something going bad is very high (and if you don't have access to a coating thickness gage, it's better to forget it).

that may be true, but the same thing could be said for wetsanding. If you are trying to get orange peel out, this seems like the safest way to me, but I could be mistaken.

I really hope someone has the guts to do this!

I've been told that many of the new-gen Camaros' owners are prime candidates.

I would love to do this if I wasn't a newbie at machine polishing, let alone using a rotary!

But seriously, the amount of orange peel on new Camaros nowadays is just ridiculous...

Even without being denim-equipped..
A rotary/wool in my hands has proven, ofttimes, to have been quite 'eventful'!!

It's sad, to say the least, the huge $$$ we allot for vehicle purchases
can't be sans Orange-Peel reciprocal.
