In this order:
- Sprayed 2-3 coats of VHT (light 2000 grit wet-sand between each coat to scuff)
- Sprayed 2 coats of clear (light wet-sand between coats - you may want to do more than two coats)
- wet sand clearcoat once hardened
- 3M hand glaze
If it still isn't perfect...
- went sand again if there are remaining imperfections in the clear
- 3M Hand Glaze
Just give the 3M a day or two to set. If you touch it an hour or two after you hand buff, it will still scratch easily and leave marks. Even a microfiber can leave marks when it's fresh. Just be patient. At least leave it overnight before installing them.

Why not only use red VHT if you wanted them to be red? those are super dark.
