Re: Clear Coat Sanding

This kind of work should only be undertaken by a very experienced enthusiast or a professional detailer; experienced in colour-sanding (wet-sanding) / paint renovation, more so than detailing, someone who uses a paint thickness gauge (PTG) to measure and document the vehicles paint. This is a technique that takes a lot of practice to perfect. This statement is not meant to question anything related to your detailing or paint re- finishing abilities just my opinion on the risks involved

Re: Clear Coat Sanding

Factory paint is very thin to begin with and sanding it down to eliminate the ornage peel will probably leave the clear coat too thin and allow for clear coat failure in the future. I would say to live with the orange peel.
