so my friend decided to try this DIY except for some reason....he used 400 grit sandpaper...now after wet sanding it, it is stuck at the foggy lenses stage and the plasticx wont get rid of it. Anyway to fix this?

My only thought would be to use a sanding progression to try and get things "fixed up". Wet sand with 600-800-1000-2000 and then plast-X might be the fix. The progression will work the scratches from the sandpaper to smaller and smaller scratches to the point where the plast-X can then polish out what is left and voila clear smooth lens! Those higher grit sandpaper should be available at most autoparts stores like Autozone or Advance, etc... Good luck!

so i told my friend what to do but his cheapass decides to not get all the grits and he only did 1000 and 2000. so instead of doing the 600-800-1000-2000 as suggested...he went straight to 1000 and 2000. needless to say, his headlight is still fogged up and he has had no success. if he finally listens i'll update my fellow members...
