You shouldn't have to clear coat if is a single stage. If you buff it, you should be able to get a nice shiny finish. That being said, you can definitely put a clear coat on this and it will be more durable, it should also add some depth to the paint. If this is done, it usually takes a while for the clear coat to set up properly(especially if you live in a cooler climate). I would wait about a week in 70's degree climate (just so that the clear coat isn't soft/gummy) before buffing the clear coat("buffing" which I recommend, but may not be necessary). You should be able wax immediately after your done with the buffing.
Use the same type of clear coat you did with paint ie. acrylic urethane, use acrylic urethane clear coat.
