? About Wet Sanding

I recently had my rear valence, rear bumper, spoiler, and front valence repainted. The shop that did the job is going to wet sand them this coming week, two weeks after I received the parts back, since I installed them on the car. There are a few places, a run in the clear, a piece of dirt, some surface scratches for the re-install, that are in the paint. Will all these come out easily? I don't know personally that much about how much wet sanding removes or what all is involved...

Thanks guys. Makes me feel ALOT better how the job they did. The good news is that there is not that much orange peel really, just some divets I guess you could say on the spoiler, and on the top of the rear bumper some glazy looking smears/scratches or something that they did or I did when i put the parts back together that you can only see at certain angles. I will report back when this is all done.

When I did my last big polish and wax, I wet sanded (2000 grit) a few scratches out of the hood and spolier. I also did some wet sanding on the roof, but I would NOT recommend this. It took several passes with the Porter Cable to get those out, whereas the spoiler and hood sand marks came out in 2-3 passes each.
