Here's my process...
1: wet sand with 400 grit
2: wet sand with 600 grit
3: wet sand with 1000 grit
4: wetsand with 1200+ grit
5: polish with handheld buffer and automotive polish, then carnuba wax.
Steps 1 & 4 can technically be skipped and it will come out well.

There's a specific clear coat that is meant for this, but I can't remember what it's called or where to get it. It's very thick and wipes on with a paper towel and is self-leveling.
