My car has done 163k miles so the headlights were seriously scratched (although due to my rubbish camera it was a bit hard to show).
Tools and Supplies Required
Megs wet and dry sandpaper
400 (dry)
800 dry
1500 wet
2000 wet
2500 wet
3000 wet
Sand block
Megs G220

This is what it looked like before...
First off, we put the wet and dry paper in water with fairy liquid overnight to make sure it was properly lubricated and ready to use the following day.
We then taped up the car and commenced with the sanding using 400 dry paper.
This is what it looked like after the first run.
We then proceeded with 800 dry, 800 wet, 1500 wet, 2000 wet, 2500 wet and then 3000 wet.
