What you're thinking will work about right, but just be careful to use light/smooth strokes with the grittier (less-fine) paper. If you have or can get a Dremel with a polishing kit, THAT's the ticket! Good luck!

Lowe's and Home Depot carry the Dremel polishing kits in the tools section. Anyplace that sells the Dremel tool should also have different kits for grinding, polishing, or whatever. They usually run about $11 or so and have several different wheels and tips.
