wetsand for the best results.....

1000grit then 1500 grit is fine, anything more and your just wasting your time.

when you wetsand you need to do multiple goes at it and make sure you use soapy water, like a bucket with dawn to soak your sand paper in.

do 3 or 4 goes at it with the 1000 grit then 3 more with the 1500 grit, then use a heavy oxidation remover compound that is plexiglass friendly and polish them with a polisher, then use wax on the headlights 3 or 4 times with the polisher again

yes. I have used it. It works. Its a lot like wet sanding plus you add some chemical constantly while doing it. It takes a while. The longer you do it for, the better results you get

I used this one and was pleased with the results. http://www.autogeek.net/lc-plastic-pro-kit.html Next time I do a car I am going to wet sand the headlights.
