Why did he wet sand it? Was it because of the film on the lens?
That film is a known problem for some. I think some folks here even got their dealer to replace the lenses under warranty.

go to the dealership. Tell them you were trying to fix the f*cked up headlight and made it worse, they will probably help you out. Who knows.

normal sandpaper has a way too harsh grit. you'll have to get higher grit sandpapers and then plastic polish.
