why did you repaint the body? Didn't look too bad. What kind of paint did you use?

If you take a close look you wilk see I've rubbed to plastic when polishing. Paint is from local car paint shop. And gloss lacquer is Gunze GX100

Added few pictures after 2h of polishing with Tamiya Medium and Fine compunds. In reality still some scratches are present... 🙁

looks great! From my personal experience i would suggest using Tamiyas coarse compound at first, it's pretty abrasive and removes fine scratches, but gives a nice basic shine, too. After it you polish again with a finer compound. Prior to polishing wetsand the surface as fine as possible, i use 2000 grid paper and 4000 grid trizact pads by 3m as the last step. Works great

Thanks Alexander. Before compounds I've sanded orange peel with wet Mr Laplos #6000 and #8000.

ah ok, you already did. Your paint job looks flawless though, you'll always end up with some scratches here and there. Just as in real life, nothing is perfect, not even brand new showroom cars, that's the way i look at things😉 cheers

Someone told me that It can be fault of paper towel I've used. I'm going to trpeat polishing with some soft cotton cloth. I'll give up if It doesn't help.

Paper towels are not the right choice for polishing, they can get hard edges when folded. I use old t-shirts, really. Cut them into small handy pieces (10x10 cm) and voila
