Where is a good place to get finer grit sandpaper? I can't find anything higher than 400.

An auto paint shop is a good place. That's where I got mine.

maybe im not as picky as you guys..... but i dont see much of a difference between the clearcoated and just polished stuff. but i guess the main downside is the yellowing and hazing right

I cleared a few parts on my car for comparison with the polished pieces. Mine hazed and I didn't like it, so I left the other pieces uncoated. Course that sucks cause now it's a PITA to maintain.

Probably won't do another polished bay after this one.
