Orange peel removal? Hard clear coat?
I have a 2018 SR (Gun Metallic, midnight) and am pretty meticulous with detailing it. It currently has a coat of Gyeon One ceramic on it and while it looks good. . .it could look better. The orange peel and dullness / lack of gloss and deep reflection is annoying, to me.
I've been looking at the CarPro Denim and Velvet pads for orange peel removal w/o wet sanding (Probably use with M105 or Menzerna FG400). Has anyone ventured down this road on their 8th gen or does everyone else just live with the orange peel like a normal person would lol. Is Nissan known to have thin or hard clear coats? thanks all

Color sanding is for experienced people only.. You WILL destroy your paint if you have never done it.. My suggestion is two things..
Live with it or pay someone who knows what they are doing to remove it. It can be removed look very nice.
Its just time consuming.. lots of water, tons of various sandpaper grits, polish, cutting crème, waxes ,polisher,, etc..
