You haven't worked hard enough!
That's a poor effort mate. You need to keep sanding until the finish is uniform over the entire light. The bits that are on your light now are bits that you haven't sanded properly.
Basically, you've done a s**t job.
Someone has used some strong cleaner on it. I know this because I did the same on a customers car.
I found that isopropyl Alcohol more or less sorted it out but the only 100% way to sort it is to replace it.
It was a good job it wasn't just you and chris out for a drive, you'd have driven off and left him there. We all know what you're like for waiting for other people...

My mate (Who we spoke about at LM) has a low bake oven and within 24 hours you can do pretty much whatever you want to the paint.

My dad scrapped loads too! Not supersports but mk1/mk2 escorts etc. Used to get. £30/40 for them.
Hindsight!!! Both he and I could retire now if he just bought and dry stored 30 mk1 escorts back then and sold them today.
