Quick Question on Black tail lights
I have a good 4-5 coats of clearcoat on...it came out really good, however it kind if has a matte finish...I bought some Meguiar's PlastX and I have some Turtle Wax Polishing Compound...Should I sand down the clear coat with 1500 grit (think I am out of 2000 grit) and then put on the polishing compound followed by PlastX? Or should I just leave the clear coat how it is and dont sand it, but still hit it with the PC and PlastX

i didnt use any clear on mine and they are super shiny, i just wetsended them with 1500 anfter they had a full 24 hours of dry time, after that i used a turtle wax rubbing compund and then got ride of the scratches with a few coats of eagle 1 wax i had laying around for a while. worked great for me so it should give you the same results. good luck

when you put the clear coat on, keep the can close, thats what i learned. when i kept the can far away it didnt come out shiny but when i did it close it did, i am gonna redo my lights tomorrow
