    decided to wet sand the tinted tails today with 2000 grit, then used a buffing wheel with 3M rubbing compound, and finally polishing compound on another buffing wheel.....looks alot clearer and not as splotchy...

    before

    after...lil bit of dust from the rag is still on there...

    mine look crappier than both those pictures, so i guess ive never worried about it. i basically use my tint to cover up cracks and bubbling.
