Re: Damp sanding: DA route or Denim/velvet pad route
For orange peel removal, what kind of paint are you doing it on?
If it is OEM paint, I wouldn't recommend removing it. The clear coat is too thin.
For refinished paint you can easily remove the orange peel.
Now are you trying to save money here or time?
For time the orange peel removal pads work the fastest, and also the cheapest. Now I have never used these pads, so I don't know how long they will last you. But FG400 and rotary would be the best route for this. I would recommend you find a good way to clean your pads too. They would get filled up pretty quick.

Now for the more traditional wetsanding, I use 3M sanding disks. I would recommend a 1500 grit and a 5000 grit pack. Usually a pack of each is good enough to last a few car. Although this is a more expensive route and will cost around $190 USD = 5,700 MUR.
Overall I would say pickup a few carpro pads and go from there.

thanks for your detailed explanation and advice buddy.
will consider the carpro pads. I have read Todd Helme's testing of the carpro pads.
As far as I can understand now that the denim/velvet pads will save me from investing in a DA and the sanding discs.
Thanks a lot

Your all set mate
Carpro pads via rotary and FG400
Then either FF3000 or SF4000 on a white polishing or blue/black finishing via 3401, your are going to have some tremendous results!
Post some pics of the job!

Re: Damp sanding: DA route or Denim/velvet pad route
I've viewed your wetsanding threads for months now. Excellent work btw. Not a fan of orange peel removal on factory CC, but then again not my market. For dd, factory years old CC, maybe stick with hand work.
Either way, good luck and keep the threads coming.
Happy detailing...
