FUBAR'd headlights w/ wet sanding!!!!

[bolt.com]

So my new lights came today and I installed them. Bought them on Amazon.com for about $60 a light. The right side fits perfectly but the left isnt real snug in the area just fore of the yellow side-markers where it meets the fender........a little gap. I removed them again and really put a generous supply of silicone gasket in there since some water is going to get between the top of the light and the fender. New lights do an amazing thing for the look fo the nose of the car............... I put some good wax on both, but what is the best way to protect these things? Only wax??????

What do you mean by clearcoat? Like a spray on or something? Or should I take it to a local body guy and ask him to hit the lights with clearcoat?

Im confused...........but then again, Im always confused.........

why bother putting a wax if you're going to polish after?

go to the zone and they have a Kit that costs $20. it will restore the lights to factory original. I used it and it kicks butt. well worth the 20. only takes about 1 hour

i use that kit on my lincoln mark VIII and it sucked balls!!! it was a waste of 20 bucks. wetsanded and used plastic polish and they are 10 time better than that kit.

Hands down I know what you need: Rubbing Compound. That would have worked, after you wet sand it down, the rubbing compound would have taken away that milky ****ty look

I suggest polishing your buffer...no wait buff then polish.
