2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper water patience extremely high quality (NO skimping) clear plastic cleaner AND polish (two seperate bottles. Meguiars. Nykon probably knows the part numbers. I have them on my shelf at my ....... shop)
Wetsand the lenses in circular motions, Daniel-san. Rinse regularly and re-apply sandpaper (keep surface wet). Do not let water get inside. When desired smoothness and clearness is acheived, use Clear Plastic Cleaner. Mequiars # wtf ever. Next apply Clear Plastic Polish. Mequiars # wtf ever also. Different # though. Just also wtf ever. lol. Admire a job well done. Take $100 you saved and spend on better stuff. Like sushi.

That's exactly the info i was looking for.. cuz the only shiot they had around here was 600 grit (small shiot a$$ town) and i wet sanded with it.. and was like WTF! gotta use higher.... I knew I heard to use higher grit (1500 around).. so... in conclusion 2000 will make it nicely finished?.. then add the clear coat?.. cuz i have that to ( intended on using it).

2000 yess. like i said though. patience. this may take a bit and buy SEVERAL sheets. mark down how many you used on the first light and use that many on the second.
Hey Nykon, Napa sells individual squares right? 3M? Napa in canada? part number in case they have to order?
with the 600 grit, clear coat COULD work, I believe it would just be a filler basically. anyway, im not really sure if u would need the clear coat if u use 2000 grit.
You basically need a clear coat no matter what grit you use. I got my hands on some 1500.. wet sanded some more.. and it was still foggy from the sanding. the clearcoat is like a good filler.. like you said JBI... Its looking alot better though now....
