Default reclearing?

I recently sprayed my fenders and after laying the clear it doesn't look as good as the other parts I painted and was going to reclear them. What grit do I use to scuff it with?

apply another coat of clear, let it dry for an our or 2, apply about 3 layers just to be safe. use 1000 grit wet sanding paper to knock off the orange Peel. follow by compound, Polish. wait 1 month to wax.

wet sanding with 1000 grit will work perfectly fine and then reclear it

i have recleared 3 coats and wet sanded after all 3 have been applied, without any issues and had it fully dry looking wet and glossy after.

you CAN wet sand in between coats just make sure you fully clean the surface before applying the next coat.
