Any place that sells 3M products will have it.
You can pick up a multi speed polisher and the
bonnets rather inexpensively at a Harbor Freight if there's one nearby.
Use the foam pads soaked in water, they run much cooler than the wool ones,
reducing your chance of burning through the clear. If you don't have a Harbor
freight, Sears sells the stuff but at a higher price.
This is the kind of polisher you will want, not the
other kind:
Good luck! Its not that hard to do even the
first time, just be ready to dedicate a full day to polishing it, then washing
it real well afterwards. You'll also need to reapply the wax
afterwards.

Thanks for everyone's responses.. sounds like wet sanding and
re-clearing might work, but would be a good deal of work.
Dan,
As for
the medium cut cleaner, is this something I can buy at a parts store, or do I
need to go to my local paint supplier? I'm just learning about paint, and am
easily confused by all the products that are available.
Shoot I'm
easily confused about a lot of things.
Thanks again.

Hi,
Factory clear can
be wet sanded with 400 - 600 grit and recleared. But be
sure to use an
adhesion promotor prior to spraying the clear. It is a
solvent you
spay on with your gun, it will help soften the factory baked
clear and
let the new clear grab hold.
