We Say

If you're looking to smooth out orange peel on your car’s paint, the CarPro Velvet Orange Peel Removal Pad is definitely worth a try. I recently used it on my car, and I was amazed at how effective it was at reducing that bumpy, textured surface that sometimes happens after painting or polishing.

This pad is soft yet firm, giving you just the right amount of control. It’s made with high-quality velvet material, which is gentle on your paint while still being aggressive enough to level out imperfections like orange peel. The pad works great with a DA (Dual Action) polisher, and you can really feel it getting to work as you move it over the surface.

Key Features

Cut Level 10/10 (Compared To Others)
Flexibility 6/10 (Compared To Others)
Washable Yes (By Hand)

Description

Along with their Denim pads, Carpro Velvet pads are intended hugely reduce the time taken to remove orange peel on the surface of the paint by remove the need for multiple stages of wet sanding.

These velvet pads will level orange peel without leaving a dull surface that requires multiple polishing stages to correct.

Please note: The orange peel and polishing action of velvet pads is extremely deceptive, as the surface is not dulled it is possible to remove much more clearcoat than is intended. Please make absolutely sure you understand how to use these pads and only use them in conjunction with a paint thickness gauge.

3. Apply a few drops to paint or pad according to your skills and preference
4. Work a 2' x 2' section or larger to keep heat down as needed but remember the larger the area the more time it will take to level orange peel and defects.
5. Begin working polish on low speed for a pass or so.
6. Step up speed to approx. 1200 rpm (adjust as needed)
7. With proper lighting observe the level of orange peel removal while you work
8. Apply more polish if needed or a spray of water on pad to re-activate lubricants
9. When satisfied with orange peel and defect removal slow speed, ending at 600 rpm as you finish down the polish
10. Refine finish with a foam pad or microfiber pad and polish

Precautions:

Note that these pads are the equivalent of 3000 grit sandpaper
Please only use these pads if you are sure the orange peel is in the upper (clear coat) and not the color coat layer
Be careful near edges and body lines or avoid completely if you are not entirely secure in your knowledge of heavy defect removal
Do not use without knowledge of clear coat thickness in conjunction with a paint thickness gauge
