Please help with headlights...

I recently wet sanded the tint off of my headlights and tail lights. The lights now have that rough cloudy appearence. The plastic isn't scratched but it obviously doesn't look shiny and glassy like it should. Anyone know what to use or the process to take to get them looking "normal" again. Anyone please help with this. Thanks...

Try some Meguiar's PlastX, then a little wax to seal them.

walmart has about 10 products that essentially do the same thing. Headlight polish/film remover type stuff.

Go for the polish, because you aren't really removing haze...
