HI, what is the importance of wetsanding the tail lights before applying VHT NITESHADE??? or is it ok to just spray it on without the sanding, thanks

Depends a lot on how professional you want it to look and how old the car is.

When you sand them down you're making it easier for the paint to stick and look natural, but you're also removing any caked on road debris.

Personally I would lightly sand it regardless, as I've seen these tiny jobs gone terribly wrong because someone didn't take 10 minutes to go the extra mile.

thanks cd`

but do i really need to buy more clear coat? or is that just optional, i'm asking also cuz i have klasse sealant glaze, would that suffice?

You will be fine to just spray on NiteShades straight on an unprepared lens (it should be clean of course)... no sanding or clear coat needed, unless you want it extra glossy.

clear coat isn't needed but nightshades does like to fade over time and the clear helps to slow that down.

what about klasse sealant glaze instead of clear???

i have a bottle of klasse sealant glaze, can i sub that for the clear? will it seal in the nite shade so it dont fade just as well? please dont tell me i have to do both! but if i do have to, go ahead and tell me?
