Couple reason why clearcoat can feel rough to the touch:
1) Air pressure was too high making the clear go on "dry"
2) Debris in the airlines that shot on with the clear
3) Really bad orange peel.
4) Not enough coats of clear.
My first step would be to wetsand the clear that you have on there now with 800-1000 grit making sure not to sand through to the base. Then reapply 2-3 coats of new clear.
