Help with wet sand and buff
go 4 coats of clear.
use a hardbloc (i'll find a link in a bit) with 1000 grit wet paper till you just cut the orange peel off, how ever many passes it took do that again. One pass is say from the top of the fender to the body line, should be about 5 strokes, or one pass. usually 10 passes before the next grit.
Next using the soft bloc use 1500. same process and 10 passes. on big and flat area's i like to change direction (roof, decklid, flat hoods, etc).
Last soft bloc and 2K.
Then heavy grit compound on the buffer and then fine. Personally i would just color sand it and then let the detailer do the rest.
Other tips would be to wash it between each sanding grit with soap and washer, also wash and then dry after you finish 2k. Be careful as you can burn thru edges really easy, if you want get some 1/8" blue fine line tape from the paint store and put it on your edges. Just dont leave it on after you get it wet, so if you are sanding and get the car done in 1K and are done for the day pull the tape that got wet, or just dont tape until your on that area.
