Sanding Universal clear for addition coats.

Guys, I sprayed 3 coats of clear yesterday morning. Got a lot of trash and some orange peel. Plan to wet sand with 800 and let it sit a day. My question is how slick does it need to? Completely dull, or any issue with minor shiny spots where the trash got in.
 
Did a spot and here is a pic . Hopefully you can see what I am asking

If it were me I’d sand it until the texture is gone assuming you have sprayed enough material.

Hold off until one of the pros responds. :)

Thanks Don, my concern is if I got enough clear on it. The trash showed up on the second coat and had to stop after 3rd coat due to family emergency.
 
3 coats of UC is plenty to be able to completely flatten it with 800, which will give you a better final finish.
 
Assuming there isn’t a lot of trash in the clear, wouldn’t it be easier just to shoot 4 coats and call it good? I’ve done this double clear approach once, and didn’t really see the benefit. But maybe I’m lazy.
