Griots Garage BOSS Finishing Papers- Reduce Orange Peel - Review by Mike Phillips

[theblob640]

Looks very interesting. Can sand paper be re-used or is it use once then toss, no matter how much use it was?

Great and informative review Mike! Loved reading this.

What sanding block did you use to wrap the sand papers around with?

Nice review Mike. You and Frank did a great job of bringing that OP down. As you have said, I 100% agree that matching OP is much harder than totally removing it.

What's great about hand/block sanding is not having any da pig tails. Again, great job.

Thank you sir!

I'll try to get pictures of the cars I have coming up for some dedicated wet sanding classes. There's no one this industry that has these types of cars to train on.

No... sandpaper, or in this case finishing paper, both have a service life. At some point they will stop cutting and time for a new sheet.


I have an article related to this, I'll share it tomorrow.

Kudos to Griots for bringing a new finishing paper out to detailers! Now if they will bring out some 3 inch paper discs for headlight repair (with Velcro backing) I will be happy. Every Detailer should be offering headlight repair to supplement their detailing business. Every little bit helps!

Mirka Abralon 3" discs are so good no one else even bothers trying

I used the Meguiar's E-7200. I don't think at this time Griot's has a backing pad for their papers.
