How To Get Rid of Orange Peel Without Sanding

I painted cars for a living from the 70s to the late 80s. I'm now 71 with zero health issues and hopefully, that's encouragement to you painters out there. Supposedly when I painted cars, the isocyanates in Supermax catalyst for example were a serious health hazard. RM Supermax was pretty much bottom of the barrel compared with today's paints. I don't regret the years I painted cars because it's a creative occupation. You never get tired of looking at one of your amazing paint jobs.

This is definitely an advanced skill-level process, things can go wrong very quickly if you don't know what you are doing. CarPro Has had these pads out for a while and they work very well. They claim the Denim is equivalent to 2000 grit with a suitable compound. They also have a less aggressive "velvet" pad equivalent to 3000 grit. The wrong compound will also make things difficult, as it will dry and cake up. A spray bottle of water helps keep everything liquid and extends the cut/working time.

Fellow painter here, and I couldn’t agree more, I prefer a really nice off the gun look, as to a full cut and polish job. Of course I’m ok with de nibing and some trizacking if need be. Looks great! 👍🏻

Found you from Samcrac, amazing work matching that corvette panel. Thanks for the tip on the denim pad turned out great

[VWildVRer]

Sent by Samcrac; staying because I'm new to paint work, and I'm excited to learn from you! When it comes to automotive work as a hobby, I'd say restoration is my favorite, so I'm looking forward to learning from you to expand my capabilities as a hobbyist. Thanks for showing this pad!

I'm glad you pointed out the qualities of having some peel, I always strive for that glass-flat-look, never thought of it from your perspective. You definitely changed my perspective on this. At about 6:42 I can see the difference in the deck lid, and I will certainly be buying a denim pad. I like buffing, kinda weird, I know. For me it maximizes what I've accomplished. Next job, which is big and week, gets some "tasteful peel". The 442, is anyone's dream, very awesome my man, very awesome.

Thank you for sharing this! Ive detailed and painted cars for 35 years and just now learned about denim pads. Can't wait to try one out!

Just purchased this denim pad set, GAME CHANGER! will buy another 2 sets to sit on, very impressed with the outcome thanks for the information! Great videos!

Im so glad this video popped up in my feed. Been doing this for 2 decades and ive never heard of this method, cant wait to try it. my boss seems to think that pinch back should never happen, even on tri-coats. I use a value clear so it happens alot.

I'm surprised to say that I had never heard of a denim pad until your video, and I have been pretty active in auto detailing for years so I feel like I should know about this! Great video! Going to give it a go on some future projects!

[lauraembry]

So glad to see you on you tube. Eric found ya last night on there. Wanted to say hi and love that you're still doing amazing !!

Might have to check these out. If it cuts down like 2000-3000 grit why wouldn't you just replace that sanding step with the denim pad for all jobs? What's the catch?
