Recently I tinted and clear coated my tail lights.

However after wet sanding and polishing there were still some very bad defects and scratches.

So the time came to finally fix them. Started with a 3m headlight restoration kit that I had some leftover p800 pads and also used the p3000 trizact foam disc.

Then I compounded, polished, and sealed with WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0

On to the pics:
