Looks a lot better. You probably want to clear coat it to protect it from UV.

Don't need to clear coat it. It will be fine. You sit on it for most part. If needed/paranoid , use some Aero 303 for some UVA protection.

Looks like the pics are hosted on Facebook. Either they have been deleted off there, or perhaps privacy settings are getting in the way.
