Is it possible to polish out orange peel and make the paint look like glass?

Unfortunately, polishing will not get rid of orange peel. In fact, the irony is that the better you polish the surface, the more apparent the orange peel looks.

Wet sanding, however, will clear up the orange peel look, but that should be done by a professional.

KnIgHtCoM I'm reviewing the videos and instructions on Autopia.org as a starter. I have no prior experience with a random orbital polisher, but I don't think that the learning curve is too steep. There are no instructional materials with the Flex device.
I'm still checking out some instructional materials as well, Griot's has one.
I received some Menzerna products for Christmas so I'm going to start with these polishes.
I don't know the answer to your question about orange peel. I think you might want to ask FMINUS.

Hi Piloti,

Keep us update on the Flex DA polisher. I have ordered the Flex polisher and some Mezerna Nano polish from Autogeek.net, unfortunately it is backordered until Feb 2008.
