Peeling Oranges hurts the wrists!

The first thing I've done to the car since my exams finished on Friday is started to get rid of some of this blimmin' orange-peel effect on the paintwork. After receiving much assistance from a variety of sources (including here!), I set about very gingerly. The things I've used so far in the process:

-Wet 'n' Dry paper (1200 and 1500)
-a very strong cutting compound and Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine
-a hairdryer (to speed up the drying of the water!)

Anyway, I started by rubbing down a small hidden section with 1200 followed by 1500, and then cut and polished it out. This went very successfully, so I moved to the visible sections! The results speak for themselves:
