Nothing special Chris....routine body shop stuff. The pros don't spray a perfect finish every time. They cut and buff to get it right.
Here's the latest from 3M:

I
really like the new 3M compounds you see in the video. Obviously they want to sell every product them make but you may not need them all, in particular on light colors. I'm using a 1500 Trizact disk, then going directly to a buffer with a white foam pad and 3000 compound, followed by a black foam pad for the machine polish.
I'm a used car dealer; this is what I buy for my detail shop....good buffer:

A wool pad might be a bit too aggressive given our rivet and panel edge issues. Speaking of edges, notice the practice of taping for protection.
Yes, I shot it myself, in my home shop, which I built to include a paint booth of sorts. Three coats of clear over enough base to cover.
Here's a "before" photo for comparison. Ok, but can be better. It can be much worse and you can still save it with sanding, if you have enough material on the surface.
Ugly sight...old man sweating and swearing, spraying wings today, 90F+ in the booth.
