Not my post but I worked in aviation composites for a long time.
I would start with 300 grit sand paper and finish with 600. You'll know when you hit the "bare" carbon because the dust will be black. You have to pay attention because you can sand the carbon pretty good and you won't really notice until you clear it. That being said it's perfectly ok to sand a small amount of the carbon. It's also a good idea to sand off all the existing clear coat. Sometimes with bare carbon you'll be able to see where the old clear was underneath the new clear. This actually happened with my carbon grills that I recleared. Just a couple spots looked more yellowish in the sun.
Don't let it scare you, it's pretty forgiving stuff if you pay attention.
