for the paint dj sanchez helped me out, first he just sprayed very lightly just so the 2nd coat sticks. i think we ended up doing 3 or 4 coats of very light spray being very careful not to make runs!

lol, yea the blue magic stuff will take most of the fog away but then u need to finalize it with plastic scratch remover stuff. use the micro fiber towels. see if u can find the novas stuff its literally the best, many people on here have also used it with amazing results

alright i got these things looking good! this is what i did. i went back and wet sanded them with the 1500 and 2000 grit just going side to side, rather than all sorts of the directions.
then i busted out the electric buffer and buffed the crap out of them using the blue magic, about 3 good runs per lens. and then i used the plasticx stuff and they came out really good. i just sealed them, going to put them back in the car after lunch and post some pics
