WC,
Thanks for asking. What to use on a freshly painted and clear coated job is a razor blade held horizontal to the Nib, pull towards you, listening to the blade cutting the high point and leaving a smooth result. Then use a De Nibbing block to work the clear at a diagonal both right and left until you no longer see the Nib or it's ring around it.
After the location is De Nibbed, hand sand the complete area with 1000 Grit, then 1500 Grit.
Then use a cutting compound with a buffer wheel and finish with a finishing pad and finishing compound.
