First of all, pics look great!! Doesn't it feel good to look at your Cobra all detailed up?! :beer:
Well, the Klasse AIO will pretty much remove anything on the surface when it's applied. It is pretty much a paint cleanser with a minor polishing ability and some glaze qualities. Thus, I would keep the AIO prior to the poorboys if you're sticking with the process you have now. Glad you tried and liked the Klasse :beer:
Give the Klasse HGSG a try in one of your upcoming details. Maybe AIOx2, HGSGx2 and then the carnauba of your choice :beer:
Orange Peel - When a car is painted, if the paint mix is not correct, or if the painter has not properly prepared the surface before painting, the resulting paint surface may look bumpy, similar to the skin of an orange. Orange peel can often be removed by wet-sanding or machine polishing.

Sweet!!!!!!!!!! :rockon: :thumbsup:
hahahaahaha all by hand, i bet ur arms are tired and sore. I did that ONCE and said screw it and spent the money on a PC.
Nice work, car looks great.
You are pretty crazy mixxer, doing it all by hand. Either you have lots of extra time, lots of energy, or you just really love your COBRA like I do. That black looks very rich & wet... 
Good job & it looks great! :beer:
Good job & it looks great! :beer:If OP is that bad it shouldn't even leave the factory. I've not seen to many vehicles with OP because usually when it's noticable the paint on it is so thin even sanding it mildly will meet what's under the paint really quick. Oh and OP around the edges of anything is a true nightmare for anyone going the wet sanding route. :uh oh:
Oh, and your car looks amazing. :thumbsup:

i too have water spots on my 03, but it's silver, so they don't stand out too bad unless you get it in the right light. however, i still know it's there. i've read alot about good products being used on this forum, but what are the best/easiest places to get these products? i know they're not sold in your average car supply store, unless i'm just missing them.
badsube-- look here bro-http://www.specialtymotoring.com/index.html http://www.autogeek.net/index.html
dude that first pic looks siiiick...i cant believe how shiny that bad boy came out, it doesnt even look like the car is black. just chrome.
thanks it just goes to show you the products do really work. long process without PC but its was worth it. going to use clearkote quick shine to maintain after washes.oh and i used poorboy trim restorer inside wow i was impressed.
Funny you should say that, because I haven't seen many cars that DON'T have significant orange peel. Sadly both of my cars have their share of it. I don't know anything about wet sanding, and I'm not upset about it enough to risk ruining the paint.Monster said:
But seriously, 99% of cars I see on the road have pretty bad peel, even if they are clean, and more rarely, waxed. People just don't care. Almost everyone out there doesn't even know what it is, and most of them wouldn't care anyway. That is how cars can leave dealerships looking pretty bad.
Mixxer definitely got lucky that his is so little. Looks so good :beer:
Gotcha. Most of them do look equally bad on all panels :rolling:Monster said:
