My new 66 was painted about 6 mo. ago, 1988 JAG RED, seller said to get it wet sanded. Is this the proper way to bring up the gloss shine, it has a egg shell look now.

Yes, wet sanding will help in creating a mirror smooth surface. What type of paint did your painter use?
If you use the search feature on this page, you will find a lot of info on wet sanding techniques and what to use. More than i could answer in one post.
use the keywords: wetsanding; wet; sanding; polishing
Then get ready to read!

Use 3Ms finishing film and you can do it dry. Easier and much less messy.

I'd rather walk around with a Chevrolet hubcap in my hand than drive a Ford
