   Looking at fitting a new wing to my saxo but it has orange peel to the paint work. Does anyone have any good solutions of removing it, had a quick look on the net and its fine sanding and polishing, does that sound right?

   Yeah that's right mate, flat polsihing... Sand with fine fine paper and water, machine polisher and it will sort it... Would recommend you take it to a detailer/pro if you don't know much about it.

   it all depends on how bad its orange peeled. if its not alot flatting it and polishing will get rid of it.

   Orangepeel or 0rang3peel, if its the later then a sniper rifle or shotgun would do the job
