Orange peel removal tips...

Just got a call from some guy with a VW golf show car that has had repaint.
Problem is, the sides are heavely covered in orange peel.
The color is some brown-gold-orange effect paint, with clear on it.
I don't have pics but imagine the worst orange peel ever seen.
As he has some kind of discussion with the paint shoip, he wants it done by me, because next sunday there is a photoshoot for a well known magazine here in Belgium.

I have experience with rotary and PC, but wetsanding scares me a bit off, also because of that special color.
What if the orange peel is under the clearcoat ?

Things I have :
  • Rotary, PC, Optimum polish/compound, SSR line, SFX line...
    All sorts of pads and applicators... the full monthy...
    Sanding paper (2000-2500), rubber block
    Patience....

How can I best start with this ?
Sorry, no pics, I left my camera at work...
