Hi guys! Bought a 2012 Deep Sea Blue E82 and to my unfortunate, the paint is in my OCD eyes very bad. I was thinking of wet sanding to get rid also of the horrible orange peel that is present or just very abbrasive compound and MF pads (Menzerna FG400 and others?) and then I'd like a polish that would give the paint a very deep gloss. However, the problem is that I have never done machine polishing. Over the week I've read a lot of reviews, how-to's and watched videos so I know the theory. Larry @ ammonyc recommends the Griots DA and MF pads which even works for removing wet sand shit.

Here are some photos. Most likely the car had seen only automatic car washes.









The white dots are stone chips, so touch up-ing will be needed.



As well as there.

There are so many products to choose from that I'm totally lost.

Oh, is there any wheel cleaner that does not remove sealant?
