Matte/Flat/Satin clearcoat

Your prep has to be 100% spot on for a satin clear as there is no polishing to fix defects

Would polishing just gloss the clear? I had the idea that polishing fills/skims the top layer of clear, not change the effect of the paint.

Abrasive polishing will remove a very very small amount of clear. I havnt had any experience with satin clear so i cant say for sure how it will respond, but all the research i have done (admittedly not a huge amount) says you cant buff it.
