I bought some 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper and am thinking about trying to sand down the clearcoat to get it all even with the base, and then spray on a clearcoat. The only thing I'm worried about is the transition areas where the clearcoat has started to detach (the white areas); I'm afraid the sandpaper will sand the base coat down when what I'm aiming for are the areas of flaking off CC.

I also bought some Meguiar's Ultimate Compound to try and see if that does anything, but not sure if I can use it on the base coat. Base coat's looking kind of dull.
