don't wet sand it if you cannot polish it-pics heavy

The car had been repainted a few months ago.The painter wanted to remove the orange peel from the hood,roof and the trunk of the car
The results were terrible....
The rest of the car had only some swirls
The process was
Meguiars Diamond Cut on Megs 8'' wool pad on rotary
Meguiars #83 on PFW on rotary
Those had been used on the wet sanded areas,followed as the rest of the car with the below
Meguiars # 83 on DAS orange light cutting pad on UDM
Meguiar's #80 on LC 6'' white polishing flat pad on UDM
Meguiar's NXT WAX as LSP
The plastic trims were dressed with Meguiar's plastic and trim dressing

Some random before pictures

Some random 50/50 shoots
The 50/50 on the wet sanded areas are after compounding with diamond cut so forgive some hazing

The paint looks great -don't forget to clean up the headlights though!

Thanks mate very very much...I guess that the sanded areas were worse than the right quarter,that's why the painter sand them...Generally it is an awful paint job...
Thanks once again mate....
