So i tent to not polish it unless its a flat surface with no sharp edges.
Thin the clear more in the later coats as already mentioned above and you shouldn't need to sand it back before polishing as it will level out a lot better. Also I don't know what kind of polish/compound you're using but normal hobby stuff is useless on 2k. You need to use proper auto compound. Meguiars #105 followed by #205 is an excellent way to start. They have a lot more cut than hobby compounds.
