My Meguiars Headlight Restoration results
Headlights looked foggy and a bit of yellowing (along with alot of little scratches), so decided to give the Meguiars restoration a try, and am pretty happy with the results
I taped around the lights, wet sanded with 600 grit sandpaper (it was the highest grit i could find), and used a cordless drill on high to do the buffing....note that if you already have the buffing drill bit, just buy the PlastiX cream (bigger bottle) for 12$ instead of the whole kit at 25$.... heres what it looks like
EDIT: I took the advice of the other members, and found a friend who has 2000 grit sandpaper and a 10,000rpm drill..... result were even better (see two last pics)

Exactly what I'm sayin 19kdrill I restore peoples headlights on the side I wouldn't use 1000 though he should do 800-1000-1500-2000-2500 and not skip a grit so he's rid of all if not most imperfections. I also hope you wet sanded. I'm not trying to be mean ,just trying to give advice because that's really bad lol I usually start with 1000 when I do cars and go up to 2500 plastix and then restoration sealer with all new rags
