all you need is the finest grit then buffing wheels and a small thing of turtle wax and some brake fluid mix. clear coating would be the last step, so you would have to hose off every piece of dust, wax+brake fluid, and sand to get that nice last finish try the brake fluid on a bicycle, and a good disposable nitted rag
