Default Tail lights

I applied a light coat of tint spray this past summer and followed with a gloss overcoat. This past week I noticed the glossy finish had started to crackle and become somewhat spotty. I decided to use the finest wet sand I could get my hands on to try and remove the overcoat and succeeded, but it left the lense extremely dull. Any suggestions as to how to restore the shinyness?

^ +1 Just be careful though. Pick a very tiny spot and try it there to get the right rotary speed. I almost screwed up my headlights.

Clearcoat. You cant necessarily use a polish thats too abrasive because niteshades, which is what I'm assuming you used, is basically a clearcoat itself and extremely thin
