The plasticX is the polish, And any wax should be fine. You used a automotive clear right?
Dont wax them for a month or so though. You need to let them cure, I wouldnt sand them right away either

eBay. I can build kits to do this if anyone would like. Once I figure out what to do on the brake lense, I was gonna run a resistor and have it on dim for the running lights and bright for the brake light
