best way and only way would be to wetsand it with 1,500 and 2,000 and then buff it out with polish.

There is only ONE way and that's break out the fine grit paper and lots of water.

I usually start by slicing through the skin, quartering the sphere, just deep enough not to cut into the pulp sections. Then, grasping the fruit firmly yet not too hard that I would crush it, begin to peel each quartered skin section off. It's important to remove as much of that whitish stuff too because it's kinda tough and ruins the taste...

...Runnin' and duckin'!

clay bar works pretty good...depending on how bad the orange peel is.

Use Mark's method to seperate the peel from the orange, then apply liberally to car exterior...why would you want orange peel ON your car?

Haha. That would definately be the fastest way but seeing as how he isnt quite sure how to remove the texture in the first place I dont know if having him go at it with a DA would be the best choice lol. I can just see him coming back with pictures of the car he sanded with no clear left on it.
