    Is there a specific reason you wet sanded?? Is your paint original factory clear or a repaint?? Did you take paint thickness measurements before you began??

    The whole car had orange peel. It was a repaint. Did not take thickness measurements. Painter said bring the car back when I can so he can cut and buff it. He put 3 thick clear coats according to him. I just wanted to do it myself.

    Now I understand. You might want to take a look at the Carpro Denim and Velvet orange peel removal pads. I haven't used them, but have seen a number of positive reviews on these pads.

    To all reading this thread: make sure you clean out as much of the original grease as you can (using mineral spirit-soaked media if need-be). Mixing grease of different calibers may cause issues.

    I personally didn't clean out every nano-ounce, but I haven't had any issues. Better safe than sorry though!
