^^^^Nope. You'll need rubbing compound and a buffer(unless you want to hand buff for 3 days). Get mother plastic polish, in many cases the plastic polish can handle the job and save you from wetsanding.

Why are you wetsanding by hand though ? You should use a block on the flat surfaces and a flexi blok on the rounded edges .
Also - after using rubbing compound ( which should be done with a twisted wool pad for wet sanding scratches ) you should follow with a machine glaze or hand glaze or your paint is open to any and all elements .

The results look good, but I was wondering why he didn't sand the color coat before he clear coated. If there is any orange peel in the color, wouldn't it still show through the clear coat even if the clear coat is sanded. How is this usually done?
