Yep. 400 grit paper, then 600 grit paper, then 1200 grit paper then 1500 grit paper all under running water. Then dip the canopy in Future floor finish/"wax". Wick up the dripping Future with a facial tissue or paper towel. Hang it up for an hour to dry and you are good to go. You may be able to stop sanding with the 1200 grit paper.
