I did it on my stang, wetsand it with some 3M paper. I belive I used 1000 grit first rubing it very lighly in a circle with a hose constantly running on the light to keep it moist. Also I taped around the hood and areas close to the lights so I did not sand my paint. (masking tape) Then I steped up to a finer grit, I believe it was 1400. This will etch out very fine scratches and leave a nice dull haze on the light. Dont be alarmed though. Get some metal polish, I used Brasso, and a buffer with a terry cloth on it. Wipe the stuff on first until it hazes up, dont get on paint. Then Press hard with buffer and rub it horizontally across the light. Buff 3 seperate times for a good clear finnish, you will be amazed.
