1.) Wet sand 600 grit by hand
2.) Wet sand 800 grit by hand
3.) Wet sand 1000 grit by hand
4.) Wets sand 1500 grit by hand
5.) Wet sand 2000 grit by hand
6.) Machine compound for shine and brilliance
7.) Coat with synthetic wax/sealer for UV protection

You'll love the new headlight look
I agree , I went though this last week, What a PITA, Wet sanding the whole time is much better for the lens, and don,t use anything less then 800 grit, and compound and and wax last a lot longer then just sanding the crap out of your lens.
