Use 1000 grit wet sand paper and just water. If your trying to get rid of all the orange peel, sand it and then wipe it off dry and you will be able to see the orange peel that may be left. I use Meguires medium or fine cut compound.

Use a sanding block, and be carefull on sharp ridges, you can cut thru the paint real quick.
