I clayed and Zainoed my car a little while ago and I was admiring how bad *** it looked I noticed how terrible the paint actually is. Is there anything that can get rid of orange peel short of a new paintjob.

You can wetsand it but you have to be careful with that so you dont go past the clearcoat.

Ohter than wetsanding the car and having it buffed out, you are stuck with the orange peel. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Isn't orange peel in the paint. If so how can wet sanding get rid of it if you don't take away the clear coat.

The orange peel you see is the texture of the top of the clearcoat.
By wetsanding and buffing, you sand down the texture with micro-fine sandpaper, then buff out the sand scratches with compound.

If it had the factory paint job, don't have it sand+buffed... as the clear is very thin to begin with.
Even they manage to not break through the clear, it will be so thin that it will oxidize and flake off after the sun's UV gets to it.
