    Re: Removing Orange Peel & Sanding Marks with the Griot's ROP and the Wolfgang Twins

    Excellent detailed write up Mike, however I expected nothing less from the "Master of Correction"!!! Mike, I always appreciate your time & tireless effort that you put into all of your "How to's". I know I have certainly benefited from your expertise & approach my work with more confidence because of you.

    That's what I did.

    The idea being to reduce the depth of the scratches to a minimum to make it easier for a tool with a free rotating spindle assembly to remove them.

    I could have finished sanded using the Abralon #4000 grit discs but I wanted to stick with papers the average enthusiast has access to.

    The GG ROP removed them without flinching on this paint system with the products shown, a person could remove them even more easily with a more aggressive compound.

    I purposefully used non-aggressive products just for demonstration purposes.

    Of course in the real world if I were sanding I would use a rotary buffer with a wool pad to remove my sanding marks because it's the fastest and most efficient way to remove a lot of paint quickly.

    whats the reason you used mils and not microns for measurement?

    Personal preference.

    My background is working with mils, not microns.

    great write up Mike. One questions: for every paint that has orange look must be used #2000, #2500 & #3000?

    wow mike i am in awe. you are the champ in multi tasking. how many jobs do you perform for ag? i had a show truck a couple years back that a pro pinstriper/artist took 2.5 hours just on one bed rail to sand. guess it takes what it takes. at my age i would probably croak before completing a full orange peel remover. kudos for the great write up. dave

    Mike, this "How-To" was incredibly detailed and perfectly documented! I read it awhile back but not the whole thing. I just finished reading it in it's entirety this time. WOW!

    Unfortunately I am not brave enough to attempt removal of any orange peel on the panels of my factory painted Sky.

    Thanks again for the education!

    Awesome article Mike! I can't believe I never saw this before!

    Definitely going to bookmark this one for people who have wet sanding questions in the future.
