Would you consider these clear or should I work on them a bit more? So far, just 2000 then 1000 wetsand, then only thing I had was some wax. Might try buffing

why did you go from 2k to 1k? That's backwards 2k is a polishing grit.

oh shietz....... I did mistype it. I started with 1000 then 2000. Fairly easy, soaked the paper for a few minutes and kept a constant flow of water on the headlight. This is VERY EASY to do! The satisfaction as the yellow brown mildew gets sanded off the headlights is great! I'll try to find some of that polish... At first it got worst until you polish it. All I had was wax so I tried that. The city lights are more clear now. Next thing I wanna do is the gauge cluster needles. Just the damn thread is soooooooooo long I dont know where to start reading it.
