The clear coat on the roof came with a lot of orange peel.
The after-sales of the brand decided to do a sanding and polishing to remove, however the orange peels continue, the roof is entirely scratched and now some small marks have appeared.

As it is a friend's car, I would like to help you solve it.

We took apart a carbon part of the car and it has a label from a factory in China.
I know that if the part is produced in China it is because the company is able to fulfill Porsche's requirements, what bothers me is that it did not have a quality control in the final product to see these orange peels.

I explained the solutions to the concessionaire on how to solve this, news posted here.
