try getting a few finer grit sand papers, even a sheet of very fine wet/dry, and just progress through the grits. for the best finish, pick up (or make) some bat wax and apply that, leave for an hour and then polish with a clean cloth.

Yes as each finer grit will remove the marks left by the previous one.
