Kind of confused on what exactly you’re trying to do here


Are you trying to restore an old paint job and polish it up?

If so a wool pad with a heavy cut compound on a forced rotation (thing big angle grinder) and a delicate touch will remove a lot of orange peel and level a clear coat

Then you want to step up with a medium to heavy correcting pad (griots garage works great) and a medium compound

Then for the last step a soft/polishing pad (griots garage red pad) and a good polish.

I use local products (Killerwaxx)
And when I do paint correction on cars, I hardly ever use our heaviest cutting compound.


But if you want it to shine. Wet sand with 1500 then move up to 3000.
And you could get away with a wool pad, and a light compound. Then go back over it with a polishing pad to fix any minor imperfections. And seal with a carnuaba was of your choice
