Heating the paint does it allow it to be more uniform. Basic stuff really. When things are cold atoms tend to contract and when they are hot they tend to expand. If a car is painted in the proper environment then you really shouldnt get orange peel (ie right temp and humidity). T-Cut is a scratch compound IIRC, but yeah, wet sand, use a cutting/scratch compound (not really needed, but for optimal results), then buff and buff and buff.
