Default Yellowed Headlights Cleaning Tips!

Hello.

Today I used 1500 grit sandpapers and 3M rubbing compounds to clean my yellowed headlights and the result was OK. But I couldn't make them as shiny or crystal-clear as new. I only polished the outside of the headlight housings.

My question is 'using 1000 grit sandpapers will get the yellow out more effectively?'

i've read 'novus' and 'plexi' brand compounds work great but couldn't find anywhere in my neighborhood. is 3M compound good enough?

I will post some before and after pics later this week.
thanks.
