First, wash the headlights with water and soap, then degrease them, sprinkle water on the headlight and sand with an electric sander with a P600 grain. After the first sanding, move on to a second sanding with a P1200 grain, then P1500 and finally P2000. For the final phase, to remove any remaining imperfections, use a P2500 grain. Polish the headlights with a soft buffer polisher until you achieve the right clarity. Finally, to protect the achieved clarity, apply a protective film.
