Ok spent two hours and did up my headlights. Here's what I did I used in order the following sand paper 320, 400, 600, 1000, 2000, 2400, 3200, 4000, 6000, 8000 followed up with a liquid polish. (I just happened to remember I had acquired a plastic polishing kit a few years ago that was being thrown out at work ) two before and after shots and one final They don't look brand new but they look a heck of alot better then they did. PS before you guys gripe on the engine compartment I plan on that tomarrow.

Yah I was impressed how it cleared mine up. I just can't see buying new ones if the ones on the market pretty much suck on resisting the weather.
Yah so much for proclaiming the "Tire shine in engine compartment" voice all the time Bob. You need to get to work.
What's up with the angle pics?
That passenger one did a pretty good clean up.

try and find someone who does PDR in your area it is kind of costy depending on the company and how good they are but it can save your paint most of the time

My cousin works for Dent Wizard in Jersey. I rode along with him one day, it is pretty cool. he is the one who worked on my dent on my hood. I think the cheapest it was for like a tiny dent, dime size, is like $50. He was raking in on dealerships. Some cars had plenty of dents to give him plenty of work. Pics and video here: Paintless Dent removal He was down in Florida visiting, so I had him bring some tools and tackle this one for me, FREE! He spent like 45 minutes on it, which was impressive.

Nice, I comment on your other thread about how your lights look like mine but I'd rather buy new ones and throw some protect plastic film on their from pfyc.
