Steps.

600 grit wet sand.
1500 grit wet sand
3000 grit wet sand

Buff with Meguiar Ultimate Compound.
Finish off with 2 layers of Duplicolour Headlight Clear Coat
(Optional) Buff again once clearcoat dries.

Looks good.

But you applied clean coat over a 3000 grit polished lens?

It’s going to flake off later.
