Sandpaper will only affect the resin; it will NOT affect the particles embedded into the resin. Trizact will affect both. So you shouldn't use sandpaper; you should use Trizact.

I've been up and down this road before; I've tried both.Trizact works because it's designed to work on these particles. They are significantly harder than the silicon carbide of wet/dry sandpaper.

according to the brunswick literature my pro shop has the white cerium oxide pad is appx. 10,000 grit.........

I had my Fuze Eliminator in White Trizact Pad finish and loved the reaction. After some time I needed some resurfacing and applied 1.500 grit wet - but this was way too much surface, the ball would read the lane 5' earlier thane before and was recognizably more matte than the Trizact finish.

Later, I used a 2.000 grit pad, Abralon I think, of a friend with a spinner, and it gave back the White Trizact optics and reaction to the ball. Silky-shiny, good length and nice particle reaction in the wet/dry blending zone on the lane.

For the Brimstone Monster finish, you should try then Trizact pad or, alternatively, a simple 1.000 grit grey 3M sanding pad.
