I've seen this written alot, but don't know what it is. Can someone explain?

Thanks!

 

Look at your paint, particularly at an angle in the light. You'll see a nice 'dimpled' pattern in the paint that somewhat resembles the skin of an orange peel.

 

thanks. I better go take a good look.

 

From the autopia.org detailing site:

 

Good shot!! Illustrates it perfectly.

Woah! how did someone peel a whole orange in one piece!?!? That's amazing! LOL

 

aka fat lady *** for the cellulite looking appearance........see why everyone prefers term orange peel?

 

so is orange peel a bad thing?

 

Only if it bugs you. Almost every car has it; some people go out of their way to get rid of it by wet-sanding.

 

i dont think its one big piece because when u look at the last twists it looks like theres 2 pieces there.
if it is one piece..then that is amazing

 

exactly what he said... even Lexus and Mercedes have orange peel.. even the Murcielagos have Orange peel.. ALOT of it.. u can wetsand it but remember to let a pro do it.. he'll use very high grit paper..u can mess up your paint easily if u dont know what u are doing.. a downside of removing orange peel is that even though it will look great, the paint wont hold up as long as a car that has orange peel because u are actually "stripping" paint while wetsanding

 

you mean cottage chesse.
