Wet sand the headlight
Do so with a coarser sanding disc by hand in a slow and steady back and forth motion.

Wipe the lens
Wipe off the lens with a dry cloth to make sure any yellowing and defects have been removed. The lens should have a white, evenly sanded surface as if it were frosted.
STEP 5
Sand again with a finer grit disc in an up and down motion
STEP 6
Buff the headlight
With a drill attachment, buff the headlight using a liquid compound designed for plastic surfaces.
