[QUOTE="Lumadar, post: 1211114, member: 25097"] 17+ year detailing veteran and current global professional product manager at Meguiar's here.... the simple answer to "can factory orange peel be fixed?" is no. Can you technically level it out? Yes, you can - but there is simply nowhere near enough factory clear to do so safely and not compromise the entire paint job. We have done some special detail jobs for some OEMs for SEMA and such and when they ask if we can remove the orange peel we explain very clearly that we can - but expect that clear coat to fail within 1-3 years of normal use. Sure enough, some have a couple of years later. Now, if you are working on an aftermarket painted panel, then yes, USUALLY you can as humans lay down considerably more paint than the factory machines do. [/QUOTE]
