    Great advice Bobby. It`s takes talent to match the factory orange peal. Most guys think the sign of a good painter is how flat the paint is. No, he just knows how to wet sand his orange peal.

    Maybe he thought the clouds in pic 3 were swirls and thought "this should be easy, it`s how I always finish". Never fear, you can fix his damage. BobbyG once again delivers excellent advice!

    first pic looks like wetsanding marks that are still in there, like the compounding stage didnt fully remove them. if thats the case then you can fix that right away just as others have said, hold off on the clear bra wrappy till the paint is fully cured.

    good luck & dont be upset, its an easy fix..
