I messed up with some touch up paint and the clear coat layer is very
thick and muddy.  How can i remove the clear coat?
Also, i put some jet black bmw touch up on, its applied well, should i
put clear coat over it? i put it on about 2 days ago.
What exactly does clearcoat do?
Thanks in advance, this is a nice group.

No one has any suggest as to how i can strip the clearcoat from the
touchup kit away?
Should I use that sandpaper and buffer method?  Never used it before,
but i do have a waxer machine, it looks like it could do the job if I
should be doing it

I haven't actually tried this but I've been told by a guy that has
that if you soak 3M 1000 grit sandpaper in water for 3 days then sand it
by hand you can remove only the clearcoat.
