Thought this may be of interest to some people on here.

Been looking at this guide for quite a while now and I'm intending on doing it to my car once the warmer weather arrives as it can easily be done bit by bit.

The sanding back way is a more time consuming and risky method I find as its very easy to focus on one spot to much and find you sand through most of the surrounding paint.

wet sanding is a common way that people do a 100% swirl removal, if you know what you're doing it can be done well

Oh yeah it is good method don't get me wrong I've used on various parts of my car.

Where i used to work we used to wet sand brand new m3's as customers weren't happy with the level of orange peel. Its just when you do stone chips if the paint hasn't fully cured you can pull it all out which means starting again and sometimes people think you just sand the filled chip instead of a the chip & surrounding area which helps bring the paint level flat again.
