I'd help, but I haven't done it before. There's a huge sticky about it on this forum. That should help.

I'm in the middle of doing my corners right now. I just wet sanded the lenses with 600 grit until they were totally smooth and then applied the night shade. Then after about 5 hours I put a coat of clear.

You don't have to smooth the piece before you put the nightshade on.

to answer your question i didn't clear mine when i got the color i wanted i wet sanded with 2000 grit and then polished by hand heres some pics i've done it with all my marker lights. ohh yea and i agree it looks better when you smooth the side markers no nasty lettering showing with the tint.
