Paint correction on honda panel advice needed

Hi

I have an 07 CBR600 and my seat unit has multiple small scratches.

I'm thinking of wet sanding it then polishing.

Does anyone know if the OEM bodywork has lacquer on it? I assume the tank fairing has lacquer in order to protect it from petrol ruining it but what about the other panels.

Thanks in advance.

give it a polish with something with some cut in it, if your cloth changes colour its not, but i would expect it to be tbh

It will have clear on it. I’d be careful wet sanding as the paint is real thin on them. You can bust through the paint really fast. If you can post a photo of it.

have you wet sanded, and then polished, before ?

make sure your using something like 3000 and have the right gear to then correct it afterwards
