Ok DFW owners you didn't believe me about the shiniest car ever so here's the proof!!
I recently took on the project of sanding the orange peel out of my paint. This process removes a little clearcoat but just enough to flatten it out. Typical factory clearcoat is about 2.5-3 mils thick and this process removes about .5-.75 mil. Here's a good before and after. The left part is the drivers side fender which has been sanded and buffed. the right panel is the door which is untouched.

Here's a good close up of the fender and hoodline. I am available by appointment. If you would like to see how I do this, check out this thread https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...5&pagenumber=1

Thanks guys!
I'm sorry to hear about your RX7 Paulie, I made a few boo-boo's on my last car when I did this. Lesson's learned, the 8 is going much more smoothly. Maybe I'll change my screenname to Rotarybuffergod.........nah.

Yes, it looks great! My wife was with me and being sarcastic. She didn't see the difference. So I pointed out the building lines, and she understood. Now if I can only talk her into approving the 2k the paint shop might charge to do mine.
