    Planning to do a `14 Accord. Use M205, or buy M105?

    I`m planning to try correcting the paint on a new Honda Accord. Slight orange peel that I hope to reduce or remove.

    I have a PC and M205, but my M105 has disappeared.

    Would you attempt it with only the M205?

    You won`t remove orange peel with polish. For that you would have to wet sand.

    Do you have a photo of the paint to show its current condition?

    I have a 13 accord and the paint is incredibly soft. While I haven`t measured myself, I`ve also heard it`s quite thin (which seems about right when I look at the rock chips on my hood). Perhaps you are quite skilled at wet sanding, but I`m not touching my orange peel even though it is quite pronounced.

    Edit: I`ve used M205 (black CCS pad on GG6) on my car (black) and it worked pretty well. Granted I did that when it was new. I`ll have to experiment with some new 5 inch pads I got for when I polish it again soon.

    It`s a family members` car, I haven`t seen it yet in daylight.

    I also have a 2013 Accord and yes it is very very soft clear, too soft! I think 205 may do it for you... I used CarPro Reflect Polish on mine, it worked very well.

    One question for the OP, is why do you want to remove orange peel from the paint? I ask because with wet sanding your going to remove some clear coat which it`s the protection that it gives the paint. If it`s the family car and being use all the time ( Wife and kids ) in the daylight you might want to just use the CarPro Denim pads ( which will help in reducing the Orange peel ) and after your done protect it with Cquartz UK. Todd did a great write up on these pads and it`s worth their weight in gold to view.

    I have a black 13 Accord. My suggestion would be M205 on a white pad for your test spot. If you aren`t happy, then Megs UC on an orange pad. Should be no need for M105. I revived a trashed 09 Accord with Megs UC on an orange pad. Another option would be Menz PF2500 on a white flat pad if you aren`t happy with M205. But Megs UC is cheap and you can buy it local.

    I would keep the orange peel. Removal is good for aftermarket paint and show cars.

    Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi are some vehicles you usually see with CC failure on the streets.

    +2! One for UC and One for PF2500. When I ran out of PF2500 recently, I bought UC (down the street) not expecting much, but it was (is) excellent for $10.

    Honda is repairing clear coat failure so often that there`s a shop here that has the cars lined up. Be careful.

    OP, perhaps you could find someone with a paint gauge, and then you`ll know exactly how thick the clear coat is. My BMW has orange peel, it`s never bothered me that much. However, I had a repaired area with dieback that was worse than the orange peel, and the CarPro denim pads worked great. However, they have deadly edges. First time I ever damaged a car was practicing w/ the denim pads on a concave surface with a rotary on our beater Mazda. Instead of bending w/ the curve, the pad bit into the curve. On flat surfaces, they are great. I noticed substantial improvement after one pass.

    Dang, now I`m a bit worried about even trying M205 on a white pad.

    No need to worry about this combination... remember, polishes & compounds are designed to work on paper thin clear coats, so something that is "aggressive" on clear coat is still very very very mild by real-world standards. It`s all relative.

    M205 and white could be used many many many times with little-to-no risk.
