you wet sand the paint back with 2000 grit paper to remove any imperfections, taking care not to go to far into the paint and to get a nice even dullness taking extra care near the edges as they have a tendency to sand through the paint. then you use a cutting compound like g3 to bring back the shine

unless you have any experiance doing this i wouldnt try it unless ur been help by someone who does its the last thing you would want to do is ruin ur paint
