Another tip is to sand in one direction, from back to front and straight along the flanks, do not use a swirl motion or you will never get them out and they are really difficult to cover.

My trial pack of micromesh says to sand in straight lines ("first sanding"). Then with a finer grit size sand at right angles to the first sanding ("second sanding"). This is to allow you to see when the signs of the first sanding have been sanded away. Repeat with a finer grit, again at right angles, that is, in the same direction as the first sanding ("third sanding), and so on. If this is the final gloss coat, there will be only very fine scratches left which can be removed with a polishing cream. I have tried this successfully on Tamiya Lacquer (its solvent it cellulose lacquer) which seems to be quite tough, and tougher than others, for example Mr. Hobby's Gloss Black acrylic which can quickly go through to the primer..

This sanding plan is not so easy on curved surfaces where it is sometimes difficult to sand in both directions.
