I swear I need to stop going into auto parts stores since I always buy more than I need.

when I took my old overlays off after having them on for a while, it left a real tough sticky residue kinda like what you have. I bought Meguiar's Clear Plastic Polish and some Plexus at the Sail and Ski off the frontage of 183 N. The more times you apply and buff w/the polish the better it looks. Then finish it off w/ Plexus spray and they look brand new. Goodluck

Is Plastic X a polish or a cleaner? I want to get a cleaner and a Polish.
Also wouldnt wet sanding take away your clear coat and UV protection? Which would make the headlamp scratch very easy.

Also try to find Aerospace 303 cleaner / protectant. It's used for plastics and vinyl in marine applications. I personally haven't used it yet, but my Dad has for years on his 4Runner's lights, and he swears by it. Check out Overton's catalog or online.
