Orange peel on new vehicle

I just looked at your initial post and several North Carolinians posted a welcome to you. Refreshauto has some good photos of his work on this forum. Looks like you'll have several good detailers to choose from.
 
Thanks everyone for all the help y'all respond pretty quickly and give good help and advice which is more than I can say about another detailing forum lol I've been waiting 2 days for a response on stuff and still nothing

Would meguiars ultimate compound help diminish the appearance of the orange peel? I know it won't get rid of of it wonder if it'll help diminish it some
 
Meg's Ultimate Compound will most likely by itself not affect anything in the paint that causes orange peel. This sort of defect needs to be addressed with either a certain type of orange peel removing pad, or by wetsanding with the appropriate grit sandpaper - usually 2000-3000 grit paper. Personally, I don't find the removal of factory grade orange peel that large of a priority to diminish my overall amount of clear coat applied towards the surface of the panels, but to those who wish to remove it, something that measures the thickness of the paint surface should be utilized beforehand to make sure they are not sanding the surface down too much. Once the clearcoat gets thin enough, you start experiencing a rapid degradation of the clearcoated surface that leads to crow's feet and cracks and fading - not worth it in my opinion to get rid of heavy orange peel unless the painter made sure to apply the clearcoat thick enough to safely sand down enough to fully remove the orange peel.
