Is it rough? You can block out the runs using some 1500 and 2000. Any rough bits will need to be macine polished with some compund.

as ed said block it first with 1500 or 2000 then g3 the car (with a electric buffer) when you g3 it use plenty of water and keep adding water till it runs clear, (also don’t buff over any high lines or you’ll end up going through the paint) then give it a good waxing seeing as winter is just round the corner.
