Did a search and didn't see the material for the cleaning. I remember someone posted some 3M stuff from Autozone a few months back on here. Worked wonders on their car. Need to see what materials, mine are getting a little foggy!

If you wanted to do it cheaper and possibly better, just buy some plastic polishing compunds, they're out there. I've seen these work wonders with no sanding with papers at all. Nice thing about our lights is there's no moulding nipples, so a guy could use a buffer with those plastic compounds and do a really nice job for like $10, assuming you've got a buffer you can get ahold of. If you buy wet sanding paper, you should only need one sheet of whatever grits you buy and do the lights. I've wet sanded entire cars with a single sheet. I fI used papers at all, I'd start with 1500 and go to 2000 and finish with the compounds or even go wtih 3000 prior to the buffing. Don't rub hard, keep it wet and just keep the paper moving across the whole surface, let the paper do the work, the paper will last longer that way and you'll be able to switch to the next step a lot sooner. By the way Ben, nice T&A. :)
