Default VHT Niteshades: Get it GLOSSY?

Hey guys I just got my can of VHT Niteshades in and I plan on smoking my taillights.

Ive been looking at some people's cars after application and their end result always looks FLAT instead of glossy.

How can I get the tails glossy after I smoke them? Do I clearcoat and then buff?

you could polish and buff them if you want. Like it was previously stated, you could spray some clear coat.

be careful that crap doesnt "smoke" anything...it's meant to blacken out your lights.

clear gloss coats will get it shiny
