    350Z Tinted tail lights- wet sanded/polished/sealed

    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:

    Here is the After!!








    I am super happy with how they turned out. Thanks for looking!

    Very nice work Joe! Those tails were jacked and you brought them back to life.
