Wet sanding and compound restores the clear coat while takeing out the runs....

Are the runs in the Base Coat or in the Clear Coat?
If they are in the Clear Coat then what you are planning to do will work fine, If they are in the Base Coat then you will need to wet sand all the way down to the base coat to get them out and then redo the Clear Coat.

Wet sanding and compound restores the clear coat while takeing out the runs....
Only if the runs are in the Clear Coat, otherwise you are just sanding the clear coat off. the rubbing compound only takes the top layer of the clearcoat off to remove oxidized paint that makes the paint look dull.

That blue looks great on the Evo! I think it'd look pretty good on a 350Z too. :)
