Factory Paint 'orange peel' polishing.
For those of you with new vehicles and orange peel, on the entire vehicle or just some panels, 3M has a system called Trizact. It's basically a p-3000 grit sanding system, it comes with a special hook and loop DA pad that uses the Trizact paper, they have a special compond but you can use most any polish.
Most mfgs. use at least 3 mils of clearcoat that should be plenty for the Triazct system as 3k grit only allows for the smooting of the paint and will polish put to a mirror like finish. In the video you can skip to the p-3k paper and black foam pad to polish out new car clearcoat and a good wax will take care of the swirlmarks, if you have a black or dark colored car then also use the blue foam pad and polishing compound for a complete swirl free finish.
Heres a Youtube video of the entire process.
