Well just for future reference, maybe I was doing somthing wrong with the grimmspeed stuff, but the UPOL clear was much much better. I applied it the same way I did the GS stuff, but it actually worked as intended rather than clouding up instantly.

If anyones looking for a good clearcoat to use, I highly recommend this one.
