you have to sand it with 1800-2000 grit then buff it.

well i got VHT and cleared them. this is my second set. My first set i did the same thing but left all the DOT numbers on the markers. This time around i sanded all the DOT #'s off.. i am prolly not going to snad them then. They have clear that is good enough then....

i may have a set for sale been on the car for 1 week... Car has not even been driven yet with them on..... let me know...

EDIT:Here are some pics. close up and far away
