I'd sand down any high spots.
Then paint on a couple of coats of epoxy. Then when that is hard I'd sand it again by hand until it smooth and even, starting with 240 grit wet and dry and working up to 800-1200.
You may want to spray on a guide coat (quick spraycan coat in a contrasting colour) so that you can see any low spots when you have done the first 120 grit sand.
Keep an eye on the paper, if the water running off starts turning black you have sanded through to the carbon cloth. This isn't that much of a problem as long as you stop sanding that area, it won't spoil the finish.
At the end I'd spray on some 2k automotive clearcoat and if need be sand that flat with 1500 grit w&d and buff with an powered automotive buffer and cutting compound to get a glassy finish.
If you look on the "projects" thread you'll see the bodywork I have done using this method.
