As mentioned by the others, be very cautious when doing this. Applying even pressure and going light will be the key to having this work out for ya. Without knowing the depth of the paint, I would advise going with the 1500 to start however don't go nuts with it. You will notice a difference almost immediately with that grit on the clear so take your time and don't rush. Make sure to use plenty of water with a little bit of soap and continually dip that sand paper in the bucket of water. Don't let it go dry on you.

It's going to look like you screwed it up after your done wetsanding but grab a good orbital buffer (easy to work with than rotary) and start polishing. Again, less aggressive is better for people new to this process. You would much rather go over a panel twice or three times than ruin it once with a very aggressive polish.

Good luck
