I don't know if this applies to models, but in real life clearcoat makes paint imperfections more visible. I assume you would remove as much orange peel by sanding with 2000+ grit sandpaper and then polishing it down, then applying clearcoat after its smooth as glass. And then I suppose you can polish the clearcoat to give the whole model a clean finish.

I've never experienced with tamiya polish, but turtle wax polishing compound seems to work fine for me.
