You can't speed up quality if your doing it by hand!
If you want to sand to 600 grit and then polish, I would advise doing an experiment first, using two identical acrylic blank.

sand one blank to 600 grit and then polish
sand the other blank to 12000 grit and then polish
Compare the difference
Personally I think the difference will be obvious
