My first venture into wet sand and buffing. Have buffed a lot of cars with the below kit, but never really did any wet sanding.
I bought this kit a few years ago, have since re-stocked everything that came in the kit.

I had the front and rear bumper covers repainted about 2 weeks ago and they had orange peel, so here we go.
Here is what I used, only used orange pads to cut, red pads to put on the wax and removed wax with microfiber towels.
Here is where I started.
Here is where I was at after wet sanding 1000/1500/2000
In the pics I put what I used and how many passes, I ended up going back and doing at least 6-7 more passes with the M105 and 3 more with the M205.
Here is what I ended up with, my elbows need some new grease but it aint too bad.
Buffed the entire car with M105/M205 and Pinnacle wax to finish. All the little white specs are dust, can't keep them off the car lol.
Any thoughts and criticism welcome.

Hey mate.. if you're offering? Alabamie is a bit of a drive though...
*edit*
BTW, 3M has a very nice 5-step system for this... lots of work, but it's the best I've used thus far.
