I have searched through out the forum for the answer on this and everyone says to remove orange peel, you have to wet sand. Is there something else I can do to remove it? I dont feel comfortable taking sand paper to my paint so I'm hoping there's some type of stuff I can buy in a bottle that I wipe on and wipe off to make life easier.

If you have orange peel, you aren't sanding your paint you are sanding the BAD paint on top of your paint. It's a physical mass and the only way to remove it is either mechanically (sandpaper) or chemically (stripper). I bet if you are leery of sandpaper you really don't want to strip the whole thing to metal, so sandpaper is going to be your answer. Use a finer grit than you think you need and take a long time if you are worried about taking off too much paint.
