It may depend on the paint used.  Lacquers polish much better than enamels.

What is the grit of that sandpaper?  Almost any sandpaper will require either a new finish coat or a clearcoat.

BTW, in a pinch toothpaste makes an okay polishing compound.

I am new to polishing cars before painting. I have tried Novus 2 (soon to be Novus 3) and find I still have scratches even after I have sanded with the finest (red) Testor's sandpaper thät I have. Is there a better polish and/or sandpaper out there?
