The heat has slowed my progress but I have done a bit each night.
Wet sanded the bonnet with1200 grit to remove the orange peel.
Then 2000 grit and then 3000 grit to successively remove the sanding marks.
Once that was done I used Farécla G360 compound on a duel action polisher to bring back the shine.
It's by no means perfect and I can still see some sanding marks if I look carefully but I am not chasing perfection.
I am going to respray the small section between the bonnet and black trim as I am not happy with the finish.
I will probably do a bit more sanding or buffing at a later date as I just want to get paint on the car before the weather changes.
