Yes, start out with the finest grade of sandpaper that you think will remove your deepest scratches. This article describes how I polished the Lucite screen cover on my Admiral 24C15 (scroll down to "Restoring the Screen Cover"):

I started wet-sanding with 800 grade paper and ended with 2000 grade, followed by polishing with Novus #3 and #2. My cover didn't have deep gouges, just a lot of surface scratches and a cigarette burn.
