The problem.....Nothing. You are doing it correctly, that is just the nature of the beast. My take on it is this, The chrome powder reflects light differently than chrome or polished aluminum does, so when you put the clear on, it absorbs the light reflecting capabilities it had when the clear was non-existant. Got me? Kinda confused myself, but basically I think the chrome powder has aluminum in it, and this aluminum no matter how smooth a finish is not going to reflect the same amount of light thanthe real stuff will. I have a pic posted in the album, ALBUM is listed at top of the webpage, that shows a chrome with clear on it, still looks good, but not like it was without. So, it is not you, llol
