Default EF Sedan New Paint help

I just got my sedan painted and i would like some advice. the paint used was acrylic enamel, no clear coat. one coat of primer, and 2 base coats.

there is orange peel in some areas and the paint overall needs to be smoothed out. there is some refelctive properties to the paint but kind of blurred due to the orange peel and the "roughness" of the paint.

what would be my best choice to smooth this thing out? without going to deep of course, and how long should i wait?

I cant tell how bad it is from the photos I wouldnt use sandpaper though try a buffer with a wool pad and some heavy cut compound and see what happens on a spot not to visible. If you're not to handy with a buffer get a random orbital 6 inch for like 20 bucks at a parts store and stay away from the edges. You would probably get better advice from the paint forum they have some peaple that know what they are doing in there.
