    Wetsand / Buff factory paint 05 CTS

    yeah I agree. It's ridiculous to spend 40k+ on these vehicles and have all the orange peel. To be quite honest, I had no clue what orange peel was until I started getting into painting a little. It's downright annoying. That mirror finish is awesome!

    Sounds like a plan. When the weather gets warmer let us know and we'll all try and get together. I too, would like to get some input and tips/hints on using my PC and meguiars products. Hmm I used to play golf. It was a good excuse to drink some beers and drive around the golf course in a...

    Rasky the orange peel isn't too bad, but I have seen some cars that are absolutely horrible. Believe it or not I was at a GM dealership and this fella brought in a new Corvette ZR1 gunmetal color. This car was quite a beauty, but man the orange peel was horrible! The guy stepped out all...

    LuxuryMobile this may sound dumb, but what are Surbufs? I'm sure everyone on here knows what it is, but can you elaborate a little? Is this a product?

    Porsche thanks for all your input. Ha turns out the 05 caddy is black as well. Black is beautiful but man it shows everything! I have heard of the M105, but not the wolfgang twins. Even though I have a little experience with buffing I would have to say that my ability is still at the...

    I'm trying to achieve near factory shine. I would like it to look brand new, orange peel set aside. There are swirl marks, and some scratches all over it. Are my expectations set too high?

    Thanks for the input. I think I need to watch some of Mike's video's of the PC. I dont believe I'm doing it right. I buffed my 94 black Z28 camaro and it looked fantastic in the garage. Took it outside and talk about a kick in the junk. swirls all through it. Then again I was using some...

    I think you have a good point. I'm not sure that it needs to be wetsanded like you've said. It does have a little bit of factory orange peel. did you happen to notice any? I see that you were using the Flex 3401. My 7424 PC should do the job right? On the products you used, do you suggest...

    I just joined this forum and have some questions. When you get some time feel free to let me know what you think. I have painted a few vehicles (4 to be exact) and have a little bit of experience in wetsanding & buffing. I was given a porter cable 7424 as a gift a few years back and am still...
