Re: Applying clear coat
It really shouldn't be hazy unless it's humid or it's not bonding properly with the paint you used. If it is orange-peel, you can wetsand it out and then use a very fine compound to get the shine back.. (but I don't think you're talking about orange-peel here).2004 CE Corvette 10.86@132mph

maybe that's it...i tried wetsanding it off but it just took the clear coat off
I guess you didn't have very much on there or it just rubs off very easily...If you're going to try again, make sure you do it when there is low humidity. Put a couple of coats on and let it sit in the sun and dry for a day. Then if you still have a light hazing or orange peel, use a very fine rubbing compound on a rag to buff it out.
Really though, if you are painting/clear coating a panel, the paint needs to be applied and baked at a shop. The over-the-counter stuff is only good for light touch-ups. And if your clearing over factory clearcoat, it will just come off anyway.2004 CE Corvette 10.86@132mph
