Hi guys

Carpro sent me these new orange peel remover polishing pads with twice the rate of cut to your typical wool pads. So I borrowed a F150 Lightning bonnet from my bodyshop to try this new pad out. These are not designed for your normal everyday swirl removal but are fantastic if you have any pretty deep defects in your Range Rover paint. RRSport paint can by tough at times as well as sticky. So you want something that cuts but keeps the heat write down. This pads are vented so draw near to none heat.
I purposly washed this bonnet with 0 grade wire wool as there wasnt much in the way of orange peel, so we needed some heavy defects. This was the bonnet after I had washed it with 0 grade wire wool, clayed it to remove any pollen or tree sap that the pad might pick up. ( you dont want this as the polishing pad will pick it up and will drag it around the paint creating scratches as oppose to removing them) I then gave the bonnet a full ipa wipedown so it was silicone free and was left with its true finish. This is it

excellent post superclean
Im very interested in having a play with these pads at some time.
What backing pad are you using,rubber, sponge or solid, I have not seen the carpro pads just rubbish 2d pics, so i have no idea of depth etc.

can you put a picture of the actual CarPro Pad? Also where they can be bought from? Thanks 2005 RRS TDV6 HSE Java Black

I would say you really need a PTG or risk burning through the lacquer as this sounds quite an aggressive compound

Was thinking the same, not something somebody should just blindly use and attack their paint with  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Hi guys

Sorry have been very busy with work at the moment.

Not to sure at the moment as car pro sent them direct, but I do know www.elitecarcare.co.uk will be selling them shortly.

Yes it is very important to take paint readings throughtout, so a ptg is a muct have when using these pads.

This placed this post to show you that you can even remove defects as deep as these and permanantly without the need to repaint. In fact with them being able to remove light orange peel, you will get a far better finish then you would with a respray. Always clean.
