Wow, thats crazy...I wish I could get mine like that. By the way, thats from the Zaino Website.

 

Woa!!!

 

whoa! wtf? That is tite!

 

Haha, not with the amount of orange peel our paint has!

 

Isn't there a way to get rid of orange peel somehow by wetsanding?

 

if you want to see how shiny something can be, do your window. I was amazed how reflective it was with zaino Z5 and Z6. it was a mirror.

but with the exact same process on the rest of the car, it wasnt as clear due to the orange peel, plenty shiny, but the extreme reflection was distorted which ruined it.

yes wet sanding can help/solve it. but it depends, can only take so much off before your through the clear coat which is no good.

 

thats NUTS!

 

Newbie question: what is "orange peel?"

 

Orange peel is uneven or lumpy clear coat, look at your face's reflection in your paint, it will look kinda distorted like the surface has the texture of an orange.

 

Orange peel is usually caused from the paint drying too quickly when it is applied. The paint has to be liquid enough to flow to "level out" the surface of the paint, but it can't be too thin b/c then it can run.

 

i know there are absolutely tons of threads about this..but has anyone actually been compensated by nissan for orange peel?

cause i think i am a victim

 

If that could happen, 99% of new car owners now days could collect on their car maker.....

 

although i love my car to death..and detail it every weekend im glad im not that picky when it comes to imperfections

i hate them but they dont dwell on me

just god help the guy that causes the first accident i have (knock on wood)

 

Wow! Very nice pic.

 

our orange peel is overated, i've seen way worse on much more expensive cars.

 

Damn that's beautiful...

 

Here's one of mine that I always liked.

Wow!! He's got all the same supplies I use. I see tons of towels, a few buckets, the Zaino, and the good old leaf blower, lol.

 

I was down in florida for vacation, and low and behold they had some sort of random ferrari museum, I have no clue it was in the middle of a dirty slummy flea market, but there were modenas and *holy music* an enzo. only had a 2mp camera so wasnt gonna bother trying to take a photo of it. but the paint WISHED it had orange peel, it was just patheticly wavey and distorted. looked like maaco applied it.
