Try some very fine wet and dry soaked, just a couple of goings over, then some FARECLA G3 LIQUID COMPOUND with a moist cloth jono300

I use to use it all the time when working on cars, dont go to heavy with the wet and dry just a few slides back and forward, it will look very scratchy but the g3 will bring it back out. then keep repeating untill scratch goes, you would be surprised how thick the laquer is on cars

Have you got the use of a machine polisher ?
I would try machining before wet sanding.
