Sanding scratches require the use of a rotary buffer in the hands of an experienced detailer to be properly removed. Your best bet is to contact a professional. I believe there are a few Canadian detailers on this forum that may be be able to help you out. Good luck!
 
Is it really something I can't do myself? I learned auto mechanics in less then one month where today I do aleast 2 cars a week,so I'm thinking detailing can't be that hard or is it. ;)
 
I just did some wetsanding on my car and i just used a pc and DACP and the followed with #9.It removed all the scratches but it took forever.Iwas also using orange cutting pad with the DACP then polish pad with #9.
 
sammy004- A lot of it depends on the severity of the scratches. I used a 2,500 sanding block on some repainted areas of my S8 and it left damage/scratches. I was able to get the sanding marks out with 3M PI-III RC (05933) *by hand*. It wasn't perfect, and I had to follow up with the PC/Cyclo to be satisfied, but I was able to get the "sanding scratches" sort of marring out. In areas where I didn't bother experimenting, the 05933 took them out fine by Cyclo, fast by rotary (I didn't try the PC). I'm a little surprised the #2 didn't get them out, it's pretty aggressive stuff when used on b/c (which I'm assuming you have there). Maybe you oughta try a different sanding media next time. The Meg's Unigrit stuff works great, a lot better than the 3M papers (at least for me).
