3M has two products which can be used to buff out the rough paint surface without damage to the clear cote. It is what Hot Rodders and custonm car nuts use on clear cote systems. ( best to go see a detail specialist if you are not familiar with the process)
3M Finesse-it II is used with a wool pad on a 'slow' speed buffer. Do not use too much and rub the buffer over the surface a while prior to pulling the trigger, or you will coat yourself and any gaulkers nearby.
Do not stay in one spot! ALWAYS keep the buffer moving across the surface, even a slow speed buffer can burn through the paint.
After the worst of the tops of the uneven surface is smoothed use a foam buffing pad and 3M Imperial Microfinishing compound liquid using the same buffing action.
This finish glase will also take out swirl marks on a black paint surface.
If someone out there knows how long the paint manufacturers suggest letting the T Bird paint 'breath' before waxing let me know.
I like to use a good wax like Maguire's High Tech Yellow carnuba wax as soon as possible after buffing. Some say leave fresh paint a month before waxing.
