clear coating before or after?

hey, i have always put my decals on the body before putting on my windows so that i dont have to clear coat over the windows. I was wondering if its okay that i put the whole thing together with the ondows and then the decals and clear coat over the whole thing. I dont know if the tamiya clear will ruin the windows. Thanks very much

Nope. A simple wax will do. However if you want to to clearcoat the clear parts, Future (Johnsons Klear) Floor Polish works great.
