Sure you can wetsand it, but youll need at least 2000 grit and a good cutting compound to get it to look decent.

Thanks for the fast reply. Do you know where I can get a good cutting compound at?

For the really good ones, head over to a local automotive paint store. Otherwise, you can pick some up at places like autozone or pepboys. Don't forget to pick up some polish while youre at it.

After wetsanding with 2000 grit, what would you use to polish it back up, in terms of what equipment and compounds exactly.

Hopefully someone who knows will chime in. cause right now in just going to use 2000 grit then try some sort of buffing compound and see how it goes.

Just found this writeup, it helps a bit but I'd certainly like to see pictures after each step...
