Hi. I have had collector cars wet sanded and buffed as part of a restoration, and I've done it myself too. Websites like autogeek have instructions and supplies. Personally, I prefer to start with fine grit like 2000 and spend more time at it rather than start with something coarser and faster. Then 3200, then I use a Flex orbital and microfiber pads with compounds and polish. On my clear coated cars I've been happy with the Pinnacle system. The results are satisfying in doing it yourself. Good luck.
