Well I repainted the car and the clear is much thicker than an oem paint job so I wet sanded the entire car in these steps 800-1200-1500-2000-2500-3000-4000. Then I buffed it with 3m step 1 compound followed by their step 2 machine polish. Then I finished it out with 2 more steps of glaze I like to use from auto magic. The end result is a mirror finish with no orange peel and straight as an arrow.
1 more thing, I wouldn't follow these steps with a standard paint job with a standard 2 coats of clear, this car was painted with a high solids euro clear with 4 heavy coats so I have plenty to work with.
