Trying to be the best me, I can be
Im having trouble getting a glass finish out of the clear. It seems there is a texture to it when looked under the detail lights.
If the base has any texture to it it will show through the clear. It looks lile texture in the clear but is really the base. Texture also can come from the paper following the peel in the clear instead of leveling it. If your paper feels "stuck" to the surface when hand sanding it is following rather than leveling. Use more water and change paper more often to cure that.
And like Elwood said above you are going to get urethane wave with 5 coats of clear applied. No real way to avoid it. It can also mimic texture and the surface definitely does not look flat when you have the wave. To solve that you need to start with 400-600 on a good block. That's the only way to level it. 800 is marginal for getting the wave out as it tends to follow more than level, especially after a couple of minutes using it.
