The Clear coat is actually the same paint as used for the base color coat. The only difference is that it does not contain any pigments, thus it is clear.
That said, the clear coat is just a susceptible to damage from the environment as any pint and should protected with a wax designed for "clear coat" finishes.
The clear coat itself, with it's lack of pigments is actually a little softer and will scratch easily so use only clear coat safe products with no abrasives, including any rags or towels with synthetic fibers that can scratch the finish.
100% cotton works the best IF you pull out any threads around the edge that may be synthetic.
