When I say clear I mean clear coat. It goes over the paint 2 give it that shine. Remember 2 use a clear coat that has some kind of UV protectant n it. Y don't they give these things an SPF rating, I don't know. Oh and jugz, all CF companies say there stuff is grade A even though they not! I'm not saying u bought substandard CF. Just "buyer beware" that's all.
