Got busy and tinted my tails today. One problem, they're not shiny!!! =)
Process
-Removed lights
-Wetsanded with a dot of dish soap and 2000 grit
-Cleaned with alcohol and let air dry
-2 coats of VHT, 5 mins between each coat
-45 mins dry time
-Wetsanded with dot of dish soap and 2000 grit
-Cleaned with alcohol and let air dry
-4 coats of clear, 5 mins between each coat
-1 hour dry time
Lights looked perfect at this point, but hand some orange peel. After the hour dry time I wet sanded them again, then used Mequires Ultimate Compound, and hand buffed.
They looked like crap after that. Still all foggy and full looking, so I sanded a little more and re-cleared them. They are drying now.
What did I do wrong?? Why didn't they buff out shiney??
Did I wet sand the clear too soon maybe? Any help is appreciated!!!
