Is there a safe way to remove minor amounts of orange peel out of factory clear coat paint? Or is it too risky since the paint is so thin?

To answer your question no. Mine has the OP as well. Just something that if you drive a Ford you have to live with..

I like Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. I also add a top layer of carnauba after the sealant has cured.

That's what I thought, I read both online, but the factory paint seems so thin, I wouldn't risk it. My Mustang doesn't have any noticable OP, but I have seen several F150's with it. I guess it's the luck of the draw.

I second the Wolfgang Deep Gloss...I've used it for a couple years now and it easily lasts through a Michigan winter when applied properly.


I've also heard really great things about Collinite 845:

Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845, liquid wax, heat-resistant wax, car wax

It's not a sealant, but will last just as long. Easy on, easy off...I just haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

How long do you let it sit on the paint before you wipe it off? Have been thinking about giving this a try for a while now.

I started using the Glare products about 5 yrs ago. Really good sealant type products ... especially on dark colors. I believe their claim is 5 yrs in terms of durability. After performing all of the initial steps I have found that I still usually put at least one sometimes two topcoats on my vehicles per year.

I think part of their claim to fame is Air Force One has or maybe still does fly Glare sealants.

Glare is a little pricey and labor intensive initially but I've found the end result worth it.

Pinnacle, Collinite etc are very good products also.

I had mine done with nano force-field flex I think it needs a second application or to be buffet out or was supposed to put it on and didn't get done it was a busy month but is being redone for nothing.
