Looks alot better now! I have similar problems except the guy who did my tailights applied way too much clear coat and polished them which actually ripped through the clear and paint simultaneously, so he redid them and didn't polish them free of charge. They're alot darker looking than what I wanted because of this, so I don't want to polish them myself because I am afraid the clear will come off too easily with a regular carpaint orbital, what was the process you used and any special cutting pads/polishes. I am still getting slight orange peel and some problems here and there. let me know, thanks.
