To re-coat and add clear, you will have to prep it just like a regular paint job minus the primer and color coat. Therefore, you will be dropping enough coin to get you most of the way to a full paint job so no, it is not worth it.

You do not need to worry about running out of clear, however there are a couple things you need to keep in mind when doing maintenance polishing sessions:

1) Make sure your wash and cleaning process is as safe as possible to prevent swirls from being inflicted on the paint. You should only have to do a light polishing every 6-12 months.

2) Always use the least aggressive approach: a finishing polish such as Menzerna po85rd, Meguair's 205 polish, or any other fine abrasive polish and a finishing pad. Remember, you can always take off more clear if needed, but you can never get it back once it's gone.
