What Krem said!, but I would be using 2000 grit, after the initial knock off with 1000/1200, then use 3000, yep it is available, it will save you a heap of time with the cutting compound. I use a compound called G3,(available at Auto Paint Suppliers) not too harsh, and brings up a really good gloss.
The G3 with lambswool buff, will give a coarse cut.
G3 with hard foam pad, lighter cut, and
G3 with soft foam pad, final polish before swirl remover.
If you are going to re do the clearcoat, chase the wet line, ie. never start in the middle of the bonnet or any other panel. If you use a 70 to 90% thinners in your last topcoat, you will avoid the dry overspray phenomenem.
(EDIT) MWP just jumped in with that load of horse pucky. Orange peel is not usually caused by oil, but by wrong gun pressure(you need finer atomisation, or more thinner), and too heavy a build.
cheers Chuck
