I use 3000 grit.
Then I finish with a polishing paste.
Got it! This makes a lot of sense.

Highly recommend Expel over newly polished headlights. I brought mine back as described by others here, but within months they would start to get hazy, although nowhere near what they originally were. Local guy custom cut the film for my headlights, and I applied them. $50 for the film, $100 if he applied it.
I am totally impressed! Two years have now gone by and they still look new. Going to cover wife's SUV headlights next. Great stuff (and there are other similar products from other mfg's).

I have found an expel dealer here in Lisbon so will clean the lights as suggested and get them covered. Got small surface cracks in the rear lamp lenses too. Does anybody know of a product for sealing them please?
