    Wet Sanding Wheels.

    If it were me I would start with a finer grit. I would start with 800 or 1000 and see if you can get the spots to come out. If not then move to 600 if they doesn't work then go to the 400. It may seem like your wasting your time at first but it will save you a lot of time polishing. Plus you...

    Is there a need for water washes ?

    I'm sure just using a regular wax would be fine and not cause any problems but I really don't want to take the risk. There has to be some good body shop safe sealants out there. I know they make some for fresh paint so I would think there would be a few other options out there
