wet sand with 1000 grit paper to get the pinstrip off.
then wetsand with 2500 to smooth it out be careful to not take off all the clear!!!
Then buff to a shine!
Not a job for someone with no previous paint experiance, Gm has notoriously thin amounts of clear on thier cars.
If you strip the clear you are fucked and will need a painter to fix it!!!
