I read in this fourm about people wet sanding a finish to remove the factory orange peel in their paint. If the paint has orange peel and the paint is under the clear coat, wouldn't the clear coat have to be removed to remedy this? I don't understand the concept I guess. Anyone care...

This is an update on my experience with Aquapel by PPG. I had it professionally applied on my 2005 Lexus ES330 about eight months ago. We just traded the ES330 in on an LS430 and the Aquapel was still performing well. A few notes: This is not really like Rain-X. Similar at best...
