Once you wetsand the VHT, then apply a few thick layers of clear. If you do it right, you won't need to wetsand the clear. If you have a buffer, you can use Mequiar's Scratch-X or other fine abrasive. If you do it by hand you'll need to put a little more effort into it. Obviously, afterwards you're going to need to polish and wax it for a glossy look. Here's a pic of mine after these steps:
