If this is a topcoat or finish coat, I would recommend 1200 or higher
grit. Depends on the orange peel and how much elbow grease you want
to put in. I disagree with the coarse? sandpaper, and especially the
sanding in all directions. I prefer to sand in one direction, along
the length of the car, so that scratches are harder to see. I agree
that you should progressively move up in grit.
I would then come back on it with a buffing compound, or diamond cut
compound. Come over it with a machine glaze, and then your polish,
and wax. Use a foam pad for clears and a regular wool pad for the
other paints (make sure you get the right pad for the compound).
