For now it's looking like a really good polish/seal/wax job will do just

Depends how bad the clearcoat is. If the paint itself is ok and just the clear coar
is fragged what I've heard is the hot tip is to sand off the clearcoat and levaave
the paint alone and just respray the clear.

It is neither cheap nor easy to procure all the stuff you need to do this:

But if you want a show car quality finish it does work as advertised. Worth
the effort frankly. You can get the hard-to-find stuff off ebay.
