I'll try and get pictures up some time soon; I'll be really busy the next few weeks. My question is now that we know the orange peel can be safely removed, how many of you would be willing to take the plunge and have their entire car wet sanded?

Just talked to the dealer about this issue yesterday. I thought that they would want to make this problem right but after 45 minutes talking with the GM and head of the service department it is a factory orange peel and they wont do anything about it. I made my point clear as glass but they would not color sand my car. This is a bunch of bs. I didn't pay for a car with factory orange peel. I will be getting the car color sanded and im sure that it will look 10x better. Cant wait to bring it back to them and show them the difference.
