FREEWAY, it's very simple...when you sand them initially you WETSAND them with 2000 grit. 2000 grit feels almost like regular paper. It's extremely fine. Once you wetsand the factory shine off, you do light coats of nightshades until the light is as dark as you want. Wait 15 minutes in between coats. Then you do 4 coats of clear...make sure the last coat is heavy. After letting that dry for a few hours, you wetsand the clear lightly untill it looks smooth. Finally you hit it with a buffer and some rubbing compound for that shine.

Here are mine that I did a year ago:
