Should you be aware of scratches before spraying clearcoat on a car?

If there are scratches on the surface before you clear coat, the clear will not come out smooth. If you are spraying new clear coat over an old clear coat, the entire surface must be wet sanded with at least a 600 grit wet/dry paper so the surface is rough enough to accept the clear. If you are spraying new clear over an new base coat, the same techinque for prepping the surface will be necessary if the base coat has dried.

Can you take your car to a paint shop and just ask for a clear coat?

You can, it depends what you expect in terms of finish quality. You must also consider that there is not much difference in price when it comes to spraying paint and clear coat then clear coat only you still have to sand paint buff the only difference is maybe one or two hours clear coat needs to be removed to apply new clear coat, clear coat also take a great amount of work after drying to achieve oem finish. The answer is yes however having gone that far might as well refresh it unless you just find the clear does not suit your vehicle but that is unlikely.

Is it bad to wash a car with body soap?

What do you mean by body soap? Soap that is in bar form, or soap that in a bottle like body wash? Bar soap could pick up sand and grit that might scratch the finish. Body wash is a mild abrasive but I have never heard of anybody using it for washing a car but I assume that a slight clouding of the clear coat is possible. If you have access to dish soap (detergent) it is the best improvised automotive soap.
