I would like to see measurements just as a way to compare these are very nice tool to have!

Wow is right, the orange peel removal alone is impressive but that finish from that product combination is unbelievable!

IME, denim pads do remove more clear than wet/damp sanding with 1500 grit Meguiar's Sanding Discs (not finishing discs). After achieving incredible results with these pads on a DA, I have since switched over to wet/damp sanding entirely.

For the caking issue, try a bug scrubber sponge. Works wonders on these pads!!

I'm lost for words!

I don't trust myself with a pad like that..would rather have a professional around here do it instead...but dang that last pic looks so smooooooooooth!!

I literally said "wow" when I saw the after pictures! Could you say what make and model the car was? Also how many section passes did you have to do to get to the results? I've been eyeing these pads for a while, and seeing that you used them on a rupes 21 makes me want to try them even more now!

Edit: nvm I just reread the post about which car

I wish I knew about these...

Just wondering: if 1500 grit removes less CC you'd still have to buff it out with a compound and a rotary, even move up to 3000 (depends what one prefers). So wouldn't this approach remove less in the end?

either way great job, will be ordering some of these with my Flex in a few months, since I have people asking about removing the orange peel off their repaints after posting my pictures on FB . I am also curious how many pads would be needed, say per panel?
