I used dupicolor I think the same thing he is talking about... Here are the pics, your going to have to wet sand and wheel them if you want a real good shine.

I just did mine as well. But only used two coats, finished off w/ Mothers Platic polish and they shined up very well. I have a thread here if you wanna check them out.
