I used Megs D300 and Megs Xtra cut 5 in microfiber discs for the painted/cleared/sanded roof and it turned out excellent as far as getting rid of 2500 sanding scratches. Good cutting power that made short work of the 2500 sanding scratches after a few passes and going over areas a couple times...

Has anyone tried the CarPro Denim Orange Peel Removal Pad or other similar pads designed for removing orange peel(I am sure to a certain extent) without wetsanding? I have been seeing good results even with a DA on youtube.

Thanks, I never even knew about those foam/whool combo pads. Looks they would be much better over yellow foam pads which I never cared for(don't seem to be much better then orange pads and seem to do more damage to what I am polishing in some cases). Do you think these purple foam/whool pads...

Thanks, I understand the PC will be more work then a rotary, just wanted the most most aggressive/best combo that I can get for the PC for the sanding scratches and deeper scratches.

I am about to paint the roof of my car. I will need to wetsand afterward for any mistakes I make and level the clearcaot. I want to know what is the best polish/pad combo for a Porter Cable 7424 to remove 1500-2000 grit sanding scratches. I mainly use Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final...

It may be Toyota/Lexus vehicles with Opti Lens. I did not get good results with it on my Lexus. I tried a adhesive promoter from Dupli color and had poor results, it went on cloudy and stayed cloudy and then crackled so I had to remove it. I decided to just wetsand back down with 800, I did a...

I wanted to go to 2000 grit but most manufactures and people say it needs to be 800 grit for the adhesion promoter, I am kind of worried you will see those scratches when the lights are on even if the adhesion promoter and clear cover up the sanding scratches. I am thinking of going down to...

I tried Opti Lens a few times and it does not last very long on my headlights, a few months at most before they start discoloring again. I am going to try spraying my headlights with a 2K aerosol clear I will also be using when painting other parts of my car. Has anyone tried this?You are...

When I tried Dr. Colorchip I had issues with wiping all the touch up paint I laid down out of the nicks and small chips with the solvent, these crows feet hatch scratches are very fine and I don't think you could get the touchup paint deep inside them but can mostly just get it on the surface...

I am pretty positive the color is called Nighthawk Black Pearl for Acura which is what is on the TL. This is very disappointing if the paint is failing already. It is a 2008 and always garaged, always had a coat of wax, washed every week, the burden/cost of dealing that paint failure should...

I went to polish a hood on my parents Acura TL yesterday and noticed all those small white cross hatch scratches all over the front of the hood, it almost looks like the paint cracking on the front hood area near the headlights, those scratches are not on the front bumper or anywhere else, just...

Thanks for the link:xyxthumbs:

Can you provide me the link to where the member goes into detail about doing that.

I was afraid of that. The car is only around 10 years old and is always taken care of, washed every week, always has a layer of wax, is polished when heavily swriled. Acura's and Honda's paint while soft normally lasts a very long time when taken care of in my experience, I don't know why it...

On the rear bumper of our Acura there is a cloudy/fading issue. Up close it looks like a cross hatch marks and clouding that even after compounding with a yellow/orange pad does not come off. The feel is a little rough. I think it may be clearcoat failure or something with the paint/flex...

I tried again yesterday/last night. I lowered my expectations, changed my method a little, and decided this was not going to be a normal 2 hour job and is going to take a long time with a lot of hard work. Results were much better. First I used more polish and put it directly on the wiper...

I tried polishing my windshield with the CP pads and Ceriglass yesterday and unfortunately my results were far from good. I worked a small section, maybe 10-12 square inches for about 5-10 minutes keeping it wet with water/ONR and putting a pretty good amount of pressure, at first after I was...

I got the 5" CP pad and glass wipes, hopefully I can get around to doing it tomorrow. How much pressure did you put on the DA when trying to correct the glass? I can't push/put too much pressure on my PC and keep it spinning properly and I would be afraid of cracking/breaking the glass by...

Results look good and promising. You definitely had better luck then I did with the Lake Country pad with my PC. Thanks for sharing. I will give that glass pad a try with my DA after reading about your positive experience and seeing your results. Did you have to clean/wash the pad every so...
