Update Pix: Buffed with wool and rubbing compound. Next is the 3M white waffle pad. Theres some areas where scratches from the 1000 grit is still showing. I sanded my entire car with the 2000 grit, but theres other areas where the sanding got too deep. Probably dirt grains is to blame. There's also areas where pores still exist, ill sand it down more this weekday. Ill try not to sand too much.

What is orange peel?
