no sanding will leave the deeper pits pitted -- btw, i subbed 3m fine cut rubbing compound for the plastic polish when i did my headlights (followed up with swirl remover just cuz i had it around) -worked great.

so your not supposed to sand?

i bought some blue magic plastic polish yesterday and i swear i was at it for like 3 hours and the shit looked the same. do i have to sand it? if so, wet or dry...then follow up with the plastic polish like in the thread makers link. ?

oh yeah im doing this on my headlights
