Can someone tell me the best way to sand clear epoxy resin and still have that clear glass finish?

You have to sand it with high grit paper and to get that glass finish you have to wet sand the epoxy. If you have sprayed the project with clear and it didn't lay down nicely, then the initial layer wasn't done properly. I'm assuming your doing carbon fiber ?
