It's a honda so you have to get one of those windshield banners that tell people it's a honda or else people might mistaken it for a lambo or a Ferrari.

And type r badging. A must.

In true civic fashion, make sure you have at least one body panel painted on primer.

Buy a sander, it will still be painful but slightly less so than hand sanding.

Get a bucket of water, don't let the sandpaper get too dry. If you pick up the sandpaper and see what looks like branches, you need more water.

Switch to your higher grit, change your water, repeat. Dish detergent usually helps.

Use a sanding block. Prepare for pain.

Buy some lower grit paper too, 1500 will take you loving forever.


Yes, 3m makes double sided tape strong enough to make it permanent, even

If you're starting with drips and runs, try like 600 or so to start, until you have a fully flattened surface, then you switch to a higher grit to get rid of the scratches made by the previous grit, and repeat until you are using polishing compound and have a really good finish.
