So I bought this trunk lid off someone and the clear was oxidizing on the top. Never attempted to try and fix something like this before. I sanded the old clear down, I used 600, 1000 then 2000. Then clear coated and sand 1 more time with 3000. I applied compound and then waxed it. I only did the top portion of trunk lid but as you can see the top does not match the bottom. The top is more matte almost. The clear I used was glossy. 1st pic, without yellow towel, is after compound and 2nd pic, with towel, is after waxing. Can anybody give me any advice or pointers how to get this right?
