Would this be a time for wet sanding?

They seems pretty deep, wet sanding would certainly work. Just take it very slowly and check your work after every few passes.
 
start at 3000, if it's not getting it out then go down in number until it does. Soak the sandpaper in a bucket first.
 
Buy the Unigrit sand paper, 2k then follow up with 3k , as said take it slow,wipe as you go to see how much process you made, once your happy buff it out with some Meguiar's 105 Compound followed by the 205.
 
Thanks! So afterwards I would just polish with 105?

Damn good timing! You read my mind!

Yes, the 105 works best after sanding IMO
Just make sure to use a sanding block of some sort, very important and use a lot of water while sanding.
You'll do just fine:dblthumb2:

When I sand I normally make 8 light passes then wipe to inspect, so that I don't over do it.
 
-This is factory Clear Coat?

-Hope you have access to an
electronic paint thickness gauge (EPTG)!

-Please...Be verrrrrry prudent!

Being that you've never wet sanded I'd highly recommend going to a junk yard and try taking out similar depth scratches. Depending on the yard they might give you a bashed panel.
 
I think those are too deep to sand out and have any significant clear left. I would sooner try to touch up the clear.
 
When I wet sand I use a spray bottle with water and a hint of soap. Makes it super easy to keep the surface lubricated as you sand.
