Good question. I was wondering this as well. Maybe clear bra? Has anyone tried this?

I was planning to do the sanding and then apply the clear film from Aerotect, hope that helps to protect the finish

Depends how bad your headlights are. I'd suggest trying a buffer with PlastiX first and if it's still bad get some 2000 grit from Autozone and wetsand. Then buff them a lot with Plastix.

Yeah, but I think I'm out of polishing pads. Maybe we can do that when we get the other stuff done.
