well, you can always do it yourself too. you can just go to local body shops and ask them if they have any polishing compound that you could buy. they will probably give you a half-used jug that is sitting around. tell them that youre trying to cut down the orange peel on your car. they will most likely just Give it to you. then, you just need either a Wool pad or Foam pad, ask the body shop what they typically use to remove minor orange peel. then you need an electric buffer, the arbor to hook the pad to the buffer and then have at the car. you could do it w/ an electric drill if you wanted, but dont try to accomplish this w/ a battery drill, youll spend so much time waiting for the batteries to charge. i polished an entire supra that was severely oxidized. turned out great but took 3 days because i used a battery drill. wahtever tool you use, make sure it doesnt spin any faster than 1200rpm... an Angle grinder will NOT work, it spins too fast and will damage your paint. you can get these tools at Harbor Freight in Clearwater if you need to.
