You're not (or, you shouldn't be!) working on the actual CF, but on the cleatcoat on top. So while we all may have our personal favourites pretty much any product meant for glossy painted surface should do. Car paint restorers/conditioners, rubbing compunds and waxes for boats etc.
But sand paper, even at 2000 grit, takes some experience. You don't really know how thick the clearcoat is to start with.
