at this point its a trust thing
unless you find the right shop that has the right thing for reading depth including fillers.
i belive you said he would reclear it . so do what ever you want to that layer,just dont go thru the paint.
when you do everything correct people arent sure youve done anything at all (futurama)

A paint thickness gauge will give you a good idea...but I'm not sure if it will count the coats.
