You can sand the piece of trash out with some 2000 grit and reclear it. That's perfectly fine to do

Yes, as long as the re-shoot of clear occurs within the re-spray window of time on the spray can.

well i finished spraying the part about this time yesterday so will that be ok?
so it will be ok to sand down the whole part with 2000 then re clear it and it wont look hazy or the sanding traces wont show?.thanks for the fast replys.

If you ever run into this again while the clear is still wet get a piece of tape and fold it into a u shape. Then just touch the very tip of the lint and the tape will pick it right up. Then just throw one more coat of clear.
