Received Default Judgement in CA - How to get tenant to leave?

So we already Received Default Judgement in CA and judgement for posession.  The sherriffs office hasn't gotten back to us. 

What are your strategies for getting the tenant to leave peacefully and not destroy your property? I just told the tenant that we got a default judgement and he claims he now needs to 'talk to the court'.  But we already got the judgement for posession etc.

He's tryiing to milk it longer.  Should I threaten him that if he doesn't leave peacefully now without damaging the apartment then we'll threaten to record the judgement and record the eviction?  

The tenant is claiming he can't leave now because he has to '"hire his lawyer to "remove the eviction" from his record'''

I don't want to wait another 2 weeks for the sherriff I'd rather he just leave peacefully now so that we can get it ready for the next tenant and remodel it....Ideas or strategy?
