Your right, but I would not suggest using anything over 1000 grit uless you are planning on gel coating again.. Find a small flexible sanding block, Dip in water and sand. Also be sure to use a buffer not a polisher. There is a big difference. You would be amazed at how good it would look afterwards. Also no cheap rubbing compound.
