Wow looks like you are dealing with a clear coat issue. Another application of clear coat won't look good for too long if placed over that problematic clear coat you already have.

I would suggest a fine water sand before re-applying more clear coat. Check out a body shop before doing anything. They may offer suggestions.

Paint sealant isnt going to solve your problem. It looks to me like your clear coat is peeling/worn through. The only thing thats going to fix that is a repaint. Just re-clearing a peeling panel isnt an option. You will see the edge of the old peeling clear if you sand and clear over it. You would need to sand it down and at least re-base it to cover it up before re-clearing.
