are you using a paint thickness guage? i would not be wetsanding without one, you may have a clearcoat failure in the next few years

Thanks for the concern. I have been wet sanding cars for more than ten years and I have never used a paint thickness gauge. I use the old fashioned method...sand about five strokes and squeegee. I only go far enough to level out the finish. If you look close you can still see a small, small amount of orange peel in the pictures. I'm confident I won't have a failure.

Damn,that's shiny.

Thanks to stephenm for the warning, I can see how an inexperienced person could seriously screw up their paint.
