I used a red scotch pad and scuffed every nook and cranny i could get into and then applied adhesion promoter and than sprayed away

Thanks for the advise guys. After doing the last clear coat,do I have to scuff that with some 3000 grit sandpaper then use polish? That's what I did to my tailights on my other car. Just don't want the Orange peel effect!Got all my goodies now,just gotta wait til Saturday!
