    Hey guys,

    So a customer brought his Jeep in today for full paintwork correction. Different sections of his car have been sprayed by crappy body shops and the result was crazy scratches and VERY deep orange peel.

    Instead of wet sanding I decided to give the CarPro Denim pads a shot and damn! I was shocked with the result after just a few passes on my Rupes with FG 400.

    I will say this though. After completing the entire hood I spent about 15mins looking at it under tons of different lighting and if I looked extremely hard I found tiny signs of haloing, so I went over it with 2 passes with the Meg's MF pad and it was crystal clear.

    Another thing to note, you need LOTS of these pads. They gunk up REAL quick even with agitation with a nylon brush after each pass. I used 3 pads alone just on the hood.

    Overall they are cheap pads, work AMAZINGLY well and no need for wet sanding.

    Ive recently acquired these pads as well. I have the velvet pads (less aggressive version aimed at factory paint) and i have to say they do work very well. I plan on reducing the peel on my 2012 Mustang GT, factory paint that is 90-130 microns depending on the panel. Needless to say ill be treading lightly, I believe ill only have to remove 2-3 micons, maybe 4 to reduce the peel to almost nothing. Its really bad now but its not "deep" so it shouldnt require the removal of a ton of paint.
