Unfortunately, OEM orange peel can rarely be corrected due to the extremely thin clear coat. By the time you've sanded the "high spots" of the peel down, you have very, very little clear left (if you've done it properly).

It's much easier on aftermarket spray jobs, as the paint is typically much thicker.

On a different note, Dr. Colorchip is pretty well regarded, but it'll do nothing for orange peel.
