you shouldn't have to sand. that is usualy only for sanding the texture off the interior pieces. only sand your headlights in extreme cases(deep scratches, nicks, blemishes, ect.) you can use mag and aluminum polish first, then use the plastic polish to make it crystal clear. later.

That is pretty crazy. I never would have thought it could come out like that.

On a side note someone once told me that for some plastics you can spray clear coat on them for a nice shine but of course it would have to be plastic that you didn't expect to flex at all while in use or the clear coat would crack.

Would the 3M Rubbing Compound work just as good?

IDK if it has the protectant qualities of Mothers Plastic Polish. I'm having some trouble finding MPP locally, instead of ordering it.
