Hi Jason,

I am using PPG 2002 clear coat. it's a slower curing high solids clear which wet sands, buffs and polishes really well.

First I wet sand the clear with 2000 grit, then buff with a small 3" pneumatic buffer using a foam buffing pad, I use 3M Perfect-it Buffing compound and 3M Finesse-it polishing compound. The 3M products are a bit expensive but work very well. The 3M products are available at your local professional auto paint store.

There is an art to clear coating. With the PPG 2002 and a good air gun you can get a perfect gloss without buffing - but when you spend the time buffing/polishing it will really shines and make your colors look really deep - I am reducing the 2002 with 50% reducer.

what part of Australia are you from?

cheers mate!
