    What do you use to buff bro? Somebody told me to wet sand them with 2000 grit after it's been cleared. Then take wax and buff them? How do you buff?

    i use a 3M fine cut rubbing compound after wet sanding with 2000 grit, you can either buff them by hand or by machine, i would suggest using a dual action polisher so you don't burn the paint.. i use a porter cable 7424 polisher

    I know of someone who goes this route too...I personally like the black with clear and spraying them.

    But for the OP, yours turned out pretty damn good!! Nice looking!

    ^^ Thats the OLD way now.. Theres better ways now to go tinted & have the same lighting you had with stock..TThey will look dark from far away be light when you are close..

    Tails look nice by the way..
