Since the car has to be back in the booth to paint the sail panel, it might be easier to wetsand and reclear the rest of the car in lieu of buffing it.

You can read all the online tips you want, that car looks way too nice to learn how to buff on! Can you find someone to at least give you a hand with part of it?

Color looks Freaking bad ***!!! How many coats of clear have you put on and how heavy did you put them on? I would say you should be pretty safe with 1500, then 2000, then 2500 or 3000 then buffing with compound. My uncle own his own body shop in louisiana and when he did my other uncles 71 chevelle ss he said he put 4 heavy coats of clear on and started with 800 then, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 to make sure to get all the orange peel out. it all depends on how much clear you put on. I wouldnt touch stock paint with any less than 2500 cause of how thin the clear is.
