Has anyone used them before? I've seen several positive reviews. I'm thinking about giving them a go with my Griots.

Go ahead, it takes a Looong time. But if you want, use with meguires 105.....or menzerna FG400.

I have used the velvet and denim, you would have a bit better luck with a true forced rotation orbital like a Flex 3401, if you use the griots, dont push on it so you kill the spin and do set speed on high. Be careful, the pads get hot which at the extreme, can burn the paint.

I finally gave up and wet sanded, which is very dangerous without years of experience....

I have seen people doing one panel at a time because it takes so long.

Measure your paint before removing orange peel from factory paint. The new cars it is pretty thin, and removing the peel is going to leave you with very little paint/clear in many cases. My advice is to leave it alone.
