Polishing Advice

[Tansy]

Hi there,
Just after some advice on Polishing please, as  my final coat looks really good, except for some small dust particles that have appeared. So i am considering using wet and dry 1200 then polishing it to remove the scratches, however i have never done this so unsure which polish to use and if it will work as the finish is really good just a shame about the dust, which came from no where on my last coat!!!

So any advice on the grade of sand paper , polish and technique would greatly be appreciated as i really dont want to mess it up at this stage.
 
Kind regards

What about
 
Wait until the paint has really hardened off then old, worn, 1200 W&D with a hard sanding block (to only take off the high spots) run lightly over the surface used with running water from a hose pipe. If it's a 2 pack paint, the marine polishing compounds have a bit more "bite" than T cut and give a good finish.
 
Absolutely no guarantees.
As all the warnings say, "try on an inconspicuous part first"

If you want you can get up to 2000 grit at car finishing places (or the bay)...
