@nealt2000. For the hole issue use fibre glass putty, you can re-lacquer parts as well, just sand down with 1500 and finer and re-lacquer. Also for the sand and polish, check pics at end of post. Lacquer brands are more shiny than others, but that`s not the only reason why you wing is dull. Plus, wing is a very small surface to reflect anything.

@civicx3. Layers don`t have to do anything. Nowadays there are anti-scratch lacquers on the market that prevent stone chips and scratches.

This is a vw passat. Customer had a job done and he wasn`t pleased with the orange peel on his car. So i sand it down with a p2000 wet, then used a p3000 on my sander to erase the p2000 lines and then started polishing.
This is what the whole car looked like

started sanding down(before shots)

ready for polishing

trizact 3000 pad

polishing mesh and pad for the job

looking good? notice the orange peel look on the right where i haven`t sanded yet, on the lights reflection. impressive??

front fender close up(after shot)

finished with these two

ps: pics taken with crappy LG cookie

loving your work mate, i had bad orange peel on my car after i had it sprayed... clearly the guys didn't know as much as you and rushed the job..
