check out this thread, he did it pretty much the same way i did. I started with 400 grit sandpaper, then moved to 800 and then 2000 and finished it off with Meguiar's plastic wax. it worked out pretty well for me.

3m makes a rubbing compound that works really well. I usually wetsand my headlights but i used the rubbing compound yesterday actually and it looks just as good to me.
Saves a lot of time over wetsanding and then polishing

CL-S 6Speed is rarely in
Meguires PlasticX is what I use. I bought micro fiber round applicators and used clean terry cloths to buff it off. I apply it evenly with the micro fiber applicator and then use the other side of the applicator to work it in. Use the terry cloth to buff clean. I used it today on all my lights. Tried it on my buddies 03 maxima and it worked very very nicely. Found everything at advance auto for under 8 bucks. Don't be afraid to work it in. I have found doing it twice is sometimes needed to get it close to perfect.
