Too much orange peel on my TLs

Acura paint is sucks got too much orange peel, I want to get rid of it but avoid wet sanding. Is porter cable do the trick or is there another way to get rid of it. I notice lexus and mercedes cars hardly got any on all of their cars.

Your pretty much out of luck without wetsanding. A PC is just a seriously reduced part of wetsanding.....Seek help from the dealer.....

Yea, what Excel said, the only way you can DIY is by wetsanding. If you use the PC, it will just MAYBE round the edges even more and make the orange peel more noticeable. The shadows and imperfections show especially well on a shiny car. If you read up and get very comfortable with the idea, perhaps practice on a scrap piece, you may be able to tackle the wet sanding route if the dealer gives you a no-go.
