  • Thank you for the clarification on that. I read further and yes, that is correct.

    I recently purchased some 5000 grit paper from Germany with fantastic results. It's not a perfect polish but it makes final polish to be near instantaneous. The 5K leaves it with a polished look but a very fine film look. It's just not quite there....Matador is the brand.

  • @backyardsounds No, you always want to have the pad as flat as possible or you will put holograms into the paint.

  • I couldn't help but notice he used the buffer/polishers flat - that's usually a big no-no when it comes to polishing.

  • Mostly you kept working on the edge of that fender.

  • @Boodieman72 Exactly.

  • @briaaajjjj You can take measurements on any surface if you have an ultra sonic paint thickness gauge. Which I agree isn't exactly cheap.

  • Couldn't take measurements of a fiberglass body. Technique is not so good with the rotary, definitely needs more experience.

  • Aren't you worried about sanding though the clear coat as I didn't see him take any thickness measurements.

  • I agree that it is the painting process and not the body of the car. I have a 2007 black A4 and my girl has a 2004 black Lexus GS and a 2009 dark gray Mercedes ML - no orange peel on any of our cars.

    In any case, any automaker should have the paint corrected on any model costing over $50,000

  • All cars have orange peel.  It's the spray painting process that makes orange peel, not the make of the car. Only showroom cars would not have orange peel, because they go through this wetsanding, compounding, polishing process to remove. Go take a careful look at any dark color japanese cars and you'll see it.
