Does Zaino or any of the other High Quality products help with Orange peel?

Quisp · 07-31-2007, 11:17 PM

I have an 2007 e92, TiAg, and it has the dreaded orange peel. I was wondering if any of the Prefessional grade detailing products, such as Zaino, would help with this. If anyone has any suggestions as to a way to make the OP less noticable or smooth i would be grateful.

Hey what is orange peel? Not familiar with the term.

SlammedR8 · 08-01-2007, 12:19 AM

orange peel is exactly that, it looks like an orange peel...it feels smoth, but you can see little bumps/waves in the paint finish
and nooo...no wax/sealant/polish/compound etc can remove orange peel! the most effective way, and possibly the only way is to wet sand the vehicle!

I know the orange peel is there for good, I was hoping that maybe thosed would help hide it a bit or make it less noticeable. Not going to wetsand, too risky.

haha, well if anything, polishing/waxing and all that sort of stuff would actually probably show the orange peel more just because of how clean/shiny/perfect your paint will be!!

and i agree, i wouldn't go wetsand a brand new car just to remove orange peel!

I've actually found that PoorBoy's World Polish and topping it off with EX or EX-P sealant minimizes the orange peel on the car. It makes it harder to notice. It's there, but it dramatically lessens the effect. I haven't found that with Pinnacle's products or Zaino's.

Their website is here -

If you take a look at my garage, I used Pinnacle + Zaino Z8 on the Space Gray E92, and in that side shot the orange peel is really noticeable.

On the Jet Black E90, I used the PB World Polish and EX Sealant and that hood shot and side shot shows orange peel much less.

I now use PB World on both cars, and the E92 is showing a difference.

Wow, that looks great! I had heard that the black colors actually show the orange peel more than some others so that is even more impressive results. I will have to look into the Poor Boys line. I have heard good things about it and the pics show it, Thanks
