I think set up good lighting, particularly to see the consistency of the reflection off the area you're working on. Assuming you have the material thickness to work with, you may remove pits, but if you leave a divot or contour change that doesn't belong, it might not look right even if you go through a good sequence with the finer grits. Best of luck with it.
