Default sanding clear coat

A couple of small areas on my spoiler is starting to bubble the clear coat that is. Since I have a gun and clear handy I want to remove the spoiler and reapply clear before it starts peeling. Question is what grit sand paper would be best to sand the clear without cutting into the paint.

Wet sand it with something like 800 to apply the clear. If its kinda bad you can start with 600 then use 800. After sanding it make SURE you use a form of prep solvent to clean it right before you paint. That cuts out the grease and oils that will ruin it. Then after applied and dried at least 4 hours or so u can wet sand it with 1500 to get the orange peel down. Then use 2000 and buff it out. Then ur done and enjoy the nice spoiler.
