Is your car Opal Blue Metallic? I can't tell from the pic. But here's a puc of mine before I did the 3rd brakelight:

I used VHT Niteshades, 2000 grit sandpaper, clearcoat and Mcguier's Ultimate compound. I did 4 light coats with sanding in between and 3 clearcoats and polished with the Ultimate compound.
