Compounding fresh paint by hand

[PeteT19640]

Hi my neighbour has painted his back spoiler, thoughts please

There isn't that much orange peel, car is pearl white and clear coat. He has told me there is 4 coats sprayed.

Maybe 3000 grit sand
Meguiars Ultimate Compound
Polish

How does this look keeping in mind by hand + only back spoiler, not big.

Thanks in advance

I had a pearl white car. 2006 Lexus SC430. Nicest color car I ever had. It looked great when you can see the pearl depending on the angle. Sorry I traded it in for the 13 E350 Cab. If I knew we would be relocating to SWFL, I wouldnt have. Only had 26,000 miles too. I saw one every 4 or 5 months in NJ. I see 5 per day here.

Yeah very nice too looks clean all the time, though can get good shine not the highest, trade off.
His is a Nissan Fuga 2008 V8 really nice
