Make sure paint is dry then use an Ultrafine (600- 800grit) sanding sponge (any auto paint store /some parts stores or ?)
Next either use a bucket of water or a sink and lightly wetsand your old topcoat until you have a dull smooth look.Won't take much and let the sponge work not you. I suggest a sink for the size , just sand it under the running water. Wet sanding even between coats should be done if you want that nice even wet look.
Finally (assuming the clear is compatible) apply2-3 coats making sure the last ones"look" wet not grainy before letting it dry. Don't force drying times either w/ heat etc. Bake jobs on carsare only used w/ paints that depend on the heat to cure. Other paints have specificevaporation times for the bases and each is designed to give best finish for it's application if used right.
