Orange Peel Help!
Color sanding is really the only effective way to remove orange peel. Waxing will do nothing, it's non abrasive. You can compound with a rotary buffer (wouldn't recommend this unless you're highly experienced) but bottom line, you need to wear away your clear coat with an abrasive substance (sand paper, compound, etc.). Personally, I'd just live with it. Nearly every car has some degree of orange peel.
Hope this helps.

"color sanding? i call it wetsanding..."
Years ago it was called colour sanding because automotive paints were single-stage (primer and a colour coat) and when the finish faded from ultra violet radiation (UVR) exposure, sanding off the oxidized paint thereby exposing the underlying paint would bring back the paint surface colour.
Then, as now, most sanding was done wet so the terms colour sanding, wet sanding and as all these process involves a sanding block, block sanding all became interchangeable whether you are sanding the colour coat (colour-sanding) or the clear coat (wet-sanding) to produce a level paint surface.
