and which product should i use?
(sorry for grammar mistakes  ) |
You should wait for the top coat to cure before you lacquer.. i usually use a very fine (1200 grit) wet and dry paper to take the roughness away and then thickly lacquer over the top. You need to put enough lacquer on so it looks wet, but not too much as it will run! There's quite a fine line between spot on, and the lacquer running.
After 4-5 coats let it dry for a day. Then wet flat (1200 grit paper with water) and buff to a shiny finish 
If you're using rattle cans, i usually go for Hycote clear lacquer (leave the cans in hot water for 10 mins before use)
I've used the tetrosyl/upol/cheaper brands and hycote goes on the best. More even and better nozzle

Not sure on the old wet and drying after laquering?
Why does that help?
Does it not leave marks?

No
if you buff it afterwards it comes up more shinny, no marks left.
As you are only rubbing a thin layer of laquer off.
Bodyshop do after painting... if they little bits or runs or whatever...
