It will get re-cleared as I rubbed through the clear in one section trying to eliminate a pit. What steps need to be taken before re-clearing, if any, and what is teh best way to get it looking like glass after its sprayed again

depending on the paint used you may have to use a sealer first before re-coating, as often when you break through the clear into the base a re-coat will wrinkle the edges.
The only way to get it like glass is color-sanding and polishing. In this case maybe work up to 2500 grit and then polish by hand. They're not big so it shouldn't be a big issue.
