Hey guys, I got my car painted at earl scheib (3 months ago) and they did a pretty good job for the money. i guess its a paint job with a clear coat mix.... w/e long story short, they messed up the first time so put another coat on so now i have 2 coats. i have orange peel and i am having trouble bring out the best of the paint. I used zymol paint cleaner and many other products, but nothing seems to do the trick.

question is... is it safe to use an orbital buffer on my paint? i want to get rid of the orange peel but i dont want to burn my paint.

if not, i guess im just going to save up for a clear coat...

thanks in advance guys

 

wet sand it with 2000 grit wet or higher(with a block... then buff the car with the appropiate c ompund for removing scatches of 1500 grit or higher

Then buff the compound with a #1 pad

 

so this porter cable orbital buffer thing that everyone on here talks about.. will that do the trick for the buffin part?

 

do you think it would be worth the money to take it to a pro if ive never wetsanded or buffed before?

It's not too difficult, I'll bet you could find a write-up on H-T or the interw3b.
