Innovative new pads that allow you to substantially reduce orange peel without the need for sanding.
The CARPRO Velvet Orange Peel Removal pads allow you to reduce the orange peel in the paintwork without the need for excessive sanding. This reduces the amount of work involved, and can greatly speed up the process.
Sanding also can take its toll on the paintwork, leaving an array of marks/defects that need to be further polished out with more steps.
CARPRO Velvet pads eliminate the headaches involved in removing peel, and gets you closer to that true Mirror Finish easily.
Works on any type of machine, however most effective on Rotary machines. For 2000 grit variant, check out the CARPRO Denim Pad.
Note: These pads are quite aggressive and can be deceiving. DO NOT use pressure and check the temperature of the paint frequently. The use of a paint gauge is highly recommended.
