400 grit sandpaper is WAY overkill for this situation.

My rule of thumb is to never give out advice that I wouldn't let that person try on MY own car.
My father painted cars for 40 years before the fumes darn near killed him. I was at his body shop night and day for years when I wasn't in school. This just happens to be a little something that I'm familiar with.

your paint background does sound very credible, but no need to squash
other people's post just because YOU under-estimate the regular joe.
im sure you know abrasive itself is only part of the equation when it comes
to sanding (just like polishing). how much pressure and how many cycles
also determine how much rust/paint it will take off. 400 grit to remove
rust is nothing out of the ordinary. if someone said to take a large
wire brush on it, then i might start freaking out like you did.
