    If it does come down to the wet sand and buff you could go talk to the painter at a local body shop, if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. He could knock something like that out in less than an hour on the side and probably charge you less than $100 to make it look really good.

    Post some pics and tell us what you have tried. Never want to jump directly to wet sanding. Always start with least aggressive method and work your way up.
