Best way of sorting orange peel finish..?

[Thom 1]

Hi, I want to sort the orange peel on my resprayed passenger door, but am a little scared of doing more damage! Is it correct that I should sand it down with 1200 grit wet & dry before using rubbing compound on it to bring back the shine in the lacquer Cheers

Think 1500 is the way to go.

I'm not sure of the members name but the guy knows his stuff, well on his thread i'm sure it said start with 1500 then go to 2000 and finally 3000 grit !

I used P500 and then P1500/2000, then some abrassive polish and job done.
