Had a door painted on my car a week or so ago, got it back and it looks good minus the orange peel and some dust embeded in the paint. Would like to do it myself, but i figure the PC is not strong enough to get out the Orange peel.



Here are the tools i have

-PC

-6inch Yellow and Orange pads from Lake Country

-1ZPP and 1ZUP

-2000Grit wet sand paper.



What is the recommended course of attack, I'm not sure if i'm brave enough to do the orange peel, However I'm thinking of starting on the dust spots. Wet sand and then PC it? Would PC be strong enough with 6inch pads to remove the wetsanding marks?



Any suggestions or info would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
 
It would be a good, but not impossible task with a PC (OP).



Try a dust nip with 2000 and then polish with PC . I have done 2000 by hand, not hard but that would be my limit, without a machine.



This should give you an idea if you want to attack the whole door.
 
Color sand. And when you think it's time to switch to the PC, color sand a bit more. You really shouldn't pick up the PC until you think it's rather pointless. Otherwise you're likely to polish right through the paint around the dirt speck. Get it all good and smooth before you go at it with a buffer.
