I had reported having difficulty sanding orange peel out and buffing. I was using Meguiar's Solo products and found they were not aggressive enough. Maybe they would have worked have the car been cut and buffed within a week of being painted, but after three months, they just didn't cut it (pun intended). I bought Meguiar's 105 and 205 cutting and polishing compounds which allowed a decent buffing job.



It looks like I will be repainting the hood. There are too many flaws, I have a run and too much trash in the paint. I knew about the run as I tried to repair it during the original painting, but was running out of time and rushed the repair. The repair didn't turn out so well.
