    Default Where should I get my Bimmer polished?

    So my Bimmer is back in the body shop getting some minor things done to it, but it's not going to get polished. So I was wondering where should I get my Bimmer polished to remove the "orange peel" effect, and to bring that crazy shine to it!

    Powerpolishing will give the shine and remove swirls. Myself or other detail shops are able to do that. To get rid of orange peel you need to take it to a body shop and have your car wet sanded.

    You should take it back to the shop that is responsible for the orange peel and make them do it again! I have cars painted all the time and never get OP. Try another shop next time, but for this, get the shop to do a better job!
