    Polishing recommendations...

    So I finally got a new car, 2006 Volvo S60R. I love the car but it was definitely resprayed. The whole car is literally covered in orange peel spots. So I decided on taking it down an wet sanding the whole car with 2000 grit (By Da machine).

    My question is what would be the best layout and most efficient layout of polishes for for making the car literally perfect. I`m only using the Menzerna line.

    So in order of what I got to use...
    FG400
    PG1000
    SIP1500
    PF2500
    FF3000
    SF4000
    P085RD/4500
    Finishing Glaze

    I`m most likely going to start with FG400 or SIP using a wool pad with the flex PE. From there though what can I use to finish all those fine micromarks down, I want to try an finish up with the 3401 but I really want to jewel it over... is it possible to really jewel it over as fine with the Ro vs the Pe.

    Have you looked into the velvet and denim orange peel pads? There are a couple write ups on here showing some great results.

    You need to pick about 3-4 products from top to bottom.

    Re: Polishing recommendations...

    Alright, well after some trial an error I finally got an amazing combo.

    1. Wet-sand 2000 D/a
    2. FG400 - Wool pad speed 1x600 + 1x1200 - Pe 14-2
    3. FG400 - Wool pad speed 1x700 + 1x1400 - Pe 14-2
    4. FF3000 - Blue Pad speed 1x700 +1x1500 - Pe 14-2
    Looks great but I wanted that BLING, so I threw in this.
    5. 4000 - Red Pad Speed 1 + Speed 6 Flex 3401
    6. P085RD - Red Pad Speed 6 Flex 3401
    7. P0115 - Black Speed 6 Flex 3401
    Meguiars M16
    Rupes 21 MK II, Rupes 15 MK II, Rupes 21, Rupes LHR75e, Rupes Duetto, Rupes Ibrid-L, Rupes LH18ENS, Flex PE-14-2, Dodo Juice V1
