I like it. Looks great. What did they use to clear them?
To be honest I really don't know. I do know they had to repeat the process about 4x to get the finish how I wanted it. Apparently the first time they cleared it and applied one layer of coating and once they dried they looked the same as before. I'll ask them exactly what they did and post it in the follow-up thread for you.
