It's hard to say for sure what caused the defects without seeing a picture; however, since it is a freshly painted panel it is highly likely that you are dealing with sanding marks that were not fully polished out by the body shop.

If it is, in fact, sanding marks that you are dealing with then it is going to be extremely difficult to remove them by hand. It's possible, just ridiculously time consuming. Machine polishing would save lots of time and produce a better end result. With that being said, if you are hell bent on doing this by hand, my suggestion would be to pick up some CarPro 3" Flash Pads and Meguiar's M105. This combo will lay waste to 1500g sanding marks (even by hand). Oh, and toss the Turtle Wax stuff in the garbage. It's worthless.

I'd ask the guy about it first - he should be able to properly finish it for you.
