Oh, and pics would be extremely helpful... somebody? ... anybody?... !!!
To address your question, in most cases (Note most)...just using compound and Polish will net you Glossy Orange Peel...to eliminate that you should blocksand 1st w/ #1000 Wet Paper, even up to #2000, and then Buff...and watch those edges !
