Whato to use to polish cellulose paint
I've painted half of my new car with cellulose which has turned out OK but with more orange peel than gun finish, so I've flatted an area
and polished with Farecla G3. The result has a bit of reflection but not exactly a lovely shine. What can I use to get that last bit of extra
shineiness?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
T cut has ammonia which will break down the paint and wax will seal the surface and stop the celly from completely drying - it takes 3 weeks from gun
to polishing.
G3 in a machine mop should do the job, it is a combination of the abrasive and the heat generated by the mop which will give the shine.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

i think turning the air pressure on the gun down might reduce the orange peel thing

or flat back and spray again but thin the paint more and get the pressure right will only need a light coat as you already have the depth
