Like the title say's, what would you do if involved in this situation; the explanation follows below.

The vehicule in question is my personal car, a 2013 hyundai I30. Medium hardness factory paint on 70% of the car, a shoddy quality repaint with really soft clear coat on both the right passenger door and quarter panel (spiderwebbed to hell compared to the oem paint) and thanks to having been rear ended at a stop sign, a new hatch rear bumper and spoiler repaint on next tuesday.

The place where the car is going for the paint this coming week takes pride in their work and use only top tier paint so i am expecting a harder than stock clearcoat ( I think they used ppg ceramiclear on my dad's truck)

I would like to know what you guys would do in this situation (i know not to seal or wax newly painted panels) what products on that type of pads for which section would be used. The paint condition is fair, still not to my liking but Ive been living for the last 3 years in a new unpaved development (dust city)
I own both a griots Dual action polisher and a Orbital polisher (makita style) My products are all boxed due to moving so i dont quite remember them all apart from meg's 105 and 205
 
Man, it is a tough question, without pictures and a complete list of what you have. The soft clearcoat on the repainted areas are red flags, it could be a badly/poorly catalyzed clearcoat, it could be a number of things. I would take extreme precaution on these areas, or you'll be sorry.
If the soon to be repainted areas are PPG, high quality painting system and a top painter, in two days it'll be ready, especially with a paint cabin with curing capabilities.
I humbly suppose we need more info to help you in the way you want.
Best regards
 
Ask the body shop that you trust how much (additional beyond what they are paying for the insurance repair) they would charge you to sand and re clear the door and quarter panel. Since it will be in the booth anyway maybe they will be willing to mix up a little extra clear and do the other areas you want improved for a much more reasonable price then they would usually charge.
