use bout 800 grit wet and dry too get rid of any polish, or grease etc.. oh use it wet too, stops the paper clogging, then on the washers u will have to use plastic primer aswell

dont sand down the plastic primers, its only vrey thin anyway, its also clear.
do a couple of coats of plastic primer, then paint them, you will need to use a high build primer on the roof rails instead though, i wouldnt bother sanding the primer on the washer jets cos they are so small anyway. also that plastic primer is mega thin and has a finnish like glass anyway.
defo sand the primer on the roof rails, with something like 1200 grit. then when its all painted, leave it a day then go over with rubbing compound, g7 if its solid, g10 if its a laquered colour.
