Default How many coats of clear?

I'm having my 73 camaro painted again. I had it painted in 04 but they only put about 2 coats of clear. When they sanded it was about one coat and not so shiny. A year later I had another guy lay on 3 coats of clear and wet sand. It had by far more shine and depth but he didn't spend enough time sanding. Either way at the time I was much happier with the finish then before.

Now it's back in the booth. What is the best way to lay the clear, how many coats, and how much sanding to get a straight and deep look?
