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.

thanks for the input. I need to invest in some more fine paper. I usually don't sand out the clear, I just polish it, but these bigger cars, its hard to get the clear to lay down really smooth with my gun. I'm still learning. Its an Iwata revolution HP I believe. I also have an issue with striping on my pearl/metallic jobs on the bigger cars. I'm still sorting out my mixing ratios and what not
