    if you start with 1000 and a soft block you should have all peel out then step sand up to your finner paper .as for shrinking are you sure its not 1000 grit left overs you did not sand out with finner paper .as you open the clear some thinners well come out. if there is peel you just can not sand out then your base was not dead flat when you put your clear on it if put on very heavy your 1000 grit may not get it dead flat you may have to go to 800 if you have some clear on it .i never moved up to that fine of paper i stop at 1500or 2000 if you move up to fast with the finner paper you will have hills and valleys in the paint as your not cutting the paint flat your just polishng out the sanding marks
