wet sanding tail lights after tint and clear?
how do i go about wet sanding my tail lights
after VHT night shade and clear coat
maybe a link
or a step by step
i really need to know how to do this
ive had my car apart for to many days! lol
AND HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT BEFORE I START WET SANDING the tail lights like 24 hours and the 3rd brake light and the maker lights like 1 hour (how long they have been drying)

you can't... that is not a "real" clear coat, if you try to wet sand, it will just turn cloudy....
You can still wet sand it down if you want... but you probably dont need to. If I were you I would go to a local paint shop, ask the dude if u give him $20 bucks will he spray your lights with 2-3 coats of clear during his next job... hell probably do it for free. Then if you still have some texture you can cut and buff and it will look like glass

Thanks alot for the info do you think i could buff them up to make them shine better they kinda got that over spray
and on the maker lights it looks like the clear is like making a bunch of tiny bubbles how come?

I used that exact spray clear you have...turned out horrible when I tried to wet sand...keep them as is....Wish I would have. Now I am buying another tail light because i messed one up trying to get off the paint to redo it.

Even just trying to use some meguiars nxt wax on mine after drying a week made them look horrible. Maybe if you let the paint cure 30 days but that clear I have is the exact same as yours and it just seemed soft...
