Headlight Restoration
ok so my headlights are yellowing pretty bad since my Z stays outside -_- you can notice the yellowing and the oxidation on the outer part of the plastic im planning on getting Meguiars PlastX and maybe wet sanding it down first, i know this has been posted before but i did my search and no body ever posted the steps they did so any help would be greatly appreciated like what type of grit sand paper and how long did it take. i need to do this asap so someone help me!!!

Start with the gentlest method first!
The PlastX is pretty good at clearning headlight haze. My method is to use a sponge (like a wax applicator sponge) and work in the PlastX until it disappears and buff off the excess PlastX with a MF towel. If it doesn’t clear the haze initially, repeat.
If the PlastX works, then I’ll use a quick detail spray to clean/wipe the headlights and then apply a sealant (ie, Opti-Seal) to protect the lights.
Give the PlastX a try first and then look into how to wet-sand your headlights.
