Sorry to jump around but is rock blocker better to tint the tails with?

Rockblocker is a film that goes over your taillights. To me, it was a PITA and I messed my film up. So I then later nightshaded my tails
Regarding to the nightshades, (this is what I did)

1. Clean the light
2. LIGHTLY wetsand the taillight
3. Let dry and begin applying the nightshades (LIGHT COATS) until you reach the darkness you would like.

Someone can correct this or add to my procedure!

wetsand your tailights down with a 400 grit paper. Spray the night shades and let dry. Spray your clear coat over them and make sure they sit for a day or so. Mine were clearcoated and they look like mirrors when they are clean! good luck
