I would recommend using a small piece of sandpaper or using a small sanding block. Overall just take your time.

Take the easy way out. Shave it. I usually sand those things off (like door handles, etc.
The other thing is that many times those items are black plastic, so you can tough them up afterwards. Also, the trick is to get as little orange peel from the start as to minimize that problem at the polishing stage.
