Na mate you cant polish orange peel out if its in the paint on metalic i done 3/4 coats sanded with 800 to flat it out 2 uberlight coats then laquer then compound then polish

You can see the orange peel slightly but not in natural light only when your upclose with a torch. I saw a 10 plate beamer with more peel in it than my bumper which made me laugh
