Use #120 grit (or #80 grit if you're brave) with a sanding block and very carefuly sand in the direction of the grain. Don't concentrate on just one spot, you have to do an area or a whole panel. Use a piece of masking tape to guide if needed. After you are satisfied (looking at the surface from several angles) then you can finish with a blending pad. Use the ones from a Delorean supplier as they are rougher than what you can obtain locally. When you are done you will probably go from panel to panel all the way around the car to make everything look even and "good as new".
