I did this one with one hiccup. I got a lot of orange peel with one of my two lights.

All you do is wet sand the orange peel with 2500 grit and then buff it out with a dual action buffer and some polish

I used the 3M kit and am happy with the results, I'm going to apply a clear coat and make it even better.

It's been raining, it's dirty and I haven't sprayed them with UV protecting clear coat yet. The clear coat should clear up the minor swirl marks that I see when the lights are on.
