Kevine,
You probably need about three grit size sandpaper (600, 1200, and
1500). For runs, I use 400 (using a block on flat surfaces) then 1200,
then further sand with 1500. For dust, start using 1200 (w/block), but
if your sanding too much, then use the 600 on the next dust particle,
then 1200/1500. The 1500 sandpaper is so fine, that it feels like a
paper surface (very hard to feel the abrasive with your fingers). You
can start rubbing out the scratches with your compound that is designed
for the single stage paints. Some of the compounds are designed for the
clearcoat, and these are the micro-fine compounds. Your paint will
require a more courser compound, else you will be rubbing too much. Buy
your materials from an automotive paint supplier, because they will help
you select the right products and their product lines (3M for example)
are a much higher quality product than the stuff from Wal-Mart and auto
stores. I hope than helps.

P.S. If you rub that finish without a power buffer, you will develop
some fantastic arm muscles.
