Yeah, buy some 1500 and some 2000 grit. If you have rough areas hit those with some 1000 first. Dry it all off and see where your orange peel still appears. You'll see the flat areas you wetsanded, then the low orange peely areas will still be shiney. Try and use a block with the wet sand paper. It comes out much better. Don't buy cheap sandpaper either....use 3M stuff only.
I like using 3M Perfect-It II compound. Perfect-It III cuts faster but I also noticed is marrs up black paint too much. It leaves too many scratches. So stick to number II on a foam pad and rotary wheel. Then follow up and it rub it with some Meguiars #9 Swirl Remover (which is awesome) or some 3M Finesse-It. (never used this stuff, but my supplier says its great) You should have a nice glossy finish if everything is done right.
All this takes a lot of time. You get out what you put in, so if it takes you a whole week to wetsand and rub the car the way you want it....take that whole week. I might spend like 3 nights (9 hours) just wet sanding, drying and going back over spots. Then I'll rub it out usually in a day, then go back over spots the next day.
