Help Me Out, Headlight Wet sanding...

I'm going to go ahead and wet sand my headlight cause I haven't been able to get that clean clean look I want after using PlastX. Yes it did clean them a lot but not near what I was looking for. So my question is what are the steps I should take to wet sand and polish my headlight. I'll be using a PC to buff them up so can anyone here help me out and tell me how do I go about doing so. Also after I wet sand and polish what can be use to seal the headlights up so it can maintain it from hazing up again. Thanks in advance.

I used the 3M headlight restoration kit, it actually works really well. and you can wash the polishing pad and re-use it. i use it with plastx and my headlights are crystal clear.

thanks for your reply, I'm gonna try it. But I'm also looking for a plastic sealer to apply after the restoration to help slow down the the hazing from coming back. Anyone know which is a good one to use?
