You sand until there are no more scratches from the previous grit. Even with 2000 grit it will be dull but once you take a buffer to it with rubbing compound it will start to get shiny. Then after the swirl remover it will look perfect. Then wax to prevent oxidization. Wax right away as old lacquer pain can oxidize within a day if left unsealed. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Somewhat better though. How long do I need to sand? The paint is original from 1992. How much effect does oxidization have?

You'll probably need a courser grit like 800 or 1000 to wet sand out your swirl marks then followed by 1500 grit wet sand. Follow that with a rubbing compound then a polish then a wax and you should be in pretty reasonable shape.
