claybar will NOT remove orange peel, simple as that. claybar removes the impurities and **** stuck in/on the surface of the paint when prepping for a good wax/polish

I am gonna have to agree with everyone and say that a clay bar will not remove orange peel. Maybe if you pass over the surface a few hundred times you would start to notice a difference but it just isnt a substitue for a fine grit sand paper. Clay bar does wonders for removing impurities in the paint, but doesnt replace wet sanding when it comes to removing orange peel. Wet sanding your car isnt as dangerous as some people make it out to be. Just take your time, stay away from the edges, and check your work often. Both methods would make the car look and feel better, but there is a reason why a show paint job consists of wet sanding the clear to get the best finish.

ok this is cool im having a good time i do paintless dent and paint defects like scratches and chips and i've screwed up alot of stuff it takes forever but you have to block sand or you end up w low spots and thats not good it looks like an old window reflection its not a big deal gm black cars have a lot of clear so sand it!!! she'll look hot
i dont think so. im going with stryker on this one.
