My bumper was replace and painted along with my whole D pillar.

I went to take a look at the car outside the closed dealership as it waits for service tomorrow morning and wasnt pleased with the paint job.

Earlier in the day the body shop manager said it will go into service and then then it will be "cleaned." Now obviously the car is filthy from where they got all the body residue off but <b>would that involve buffing the car to smooth the paint and orange peel?</b>

It seems like some bad orange peel but i want your guys opinons and if you think i could take it off with menzerna Intensive polish and the orange pad from proper autocare.

Only way to remove orange peel is by doing heavy wetsanding. IP won't do a damn thing to it.
