You need to wet sand and buff the paint. If your not familiar with that kind of task then find someone that knows how to do it. If you dont know what your doing, you can cause severe damage to the paint. Good luck.

Yes like sprostang said wet sanding can severly damage the paint. If you rub to hard then you can go too deep and completely remove all the paint (not good). Try using polishing compound first. This generally does the trck every time! Turtle Wax makes it and it is very inexpensive for a tub of it.
