2004 Nissan 350Z. The owner had it wetsanded to remove the orange peel and the shop was around 95% successful. Very little left, most is around the emblems because they didn't remove them. The also did an outstanding job buffing it out, I didn't see any rotary swirls. He said they had lights all over the car when they buffed it. Anyway, they didn't do any sealing so he called me out to do that.
Obviously, no need to do any heavy polishing, the only area that might have benefited was the rear bumper which had a light to moderate halo swirls...but if wetsanding and rotary buffing didn't remove them at all, then the problem is apparently with the repaint on the bumper-specifically, the swirls are under the paint. Oh well, the rest of the car is as good as it gets. I used Werkstatt's Prime via PC and a blue Propel finishing pad and sealed with Acrylic Jett.
Only 5 pics, it started to rain as I shot the last one-ironically, it is the first one posted here and you can see the rain drops if you look closely.
