Answer 7

wet sand it with a very high grit paper such as 600 and then 1000. Even at that go light, then wax and you should be shiny.

If your worried about sanding through the paint - the paint isn't thick enough or you've used the wrong paint.

Spray 8-10 coats of lacquer after sanding with 600 for a really really good finish.
