Full sand on the headlights does miracles. It’s a little scary at first, but work your way through the grits with a power tool. Pull them out and work on a bench. Be ready for the “sling” of white stuff that gets everywhere, so it’s an outside thing in your overalls. It takes time, more sanding than you think. I spend about an hour per light and have restored all my headlights as well as some for friends. Check the threads for replacement material on the rubber surround, if needed. I bought a 50 foot spool of the stuff for a few bucks that worked perfect. The OEM stuff is next to impossible to find and prohibitively expensive if you do. A kit that makes this easy is the higher-end 3M restoration one, about 20-25 bucks that you use with a cordless drill. Worth it, especially for a one-off job.
Take your time and post the results. FWIW, I didn’t coat them after, just rub them down every 6 months or so with compound, then wax.
