I know I'm very late to the thread, but I just cleaned the headlamp covers on my 2002 986, which had gotten pretty ugly.
I tried just using 600 and 800 grit, and found that while I got rid of the crud, the plastic looked very dull and cloudy even after using PlastX. It was only when I then used 2000 and 2500 grit that the lenses cleared up entirely, and now (with another coat of PlastX) look brand new. I'll add the paint tomorrow.
