My girlfriends headlights were faded really bad on her Sentra so I stopped by Autozone last night and picked up this:

What's a wet sander? (Wet sanding = squirt bottle with a soapy water solution, soaking very find grit sandpaper in the same solution. Not a machine)
The 1 step posted above helps a good bit, but it doesn't get rid of pitting. I prefer the multi step Meguires that basically is different grades of sand paper then a little sampler of Plastix to finish everything off.

sorry, i wet sanded it with 2000 then 1500 then buffed it out, kinda cleared it up but not much, so weeks go on and i hate how it makes the truck look, so i used some rustolium clear coat and it did alright, Hids are a lil focused now. but still not happy, i gotta replace the heads and tails soon, so i aint too worried about it, but goodluck

Why would you start with 2000 grit then move to the coarser 1500 grit? The higher the number the finer the grit.

I used the 3M headlight restore kit that comes with a drill attachment, and it is so much nicer than the "by-hand" method used by other companies. The only faults are that you have to tape up around the headlight edges so as not to sand the painted panels. But the end result is so much nicer the the Meguiars or the turtle wax products. Id put up b4 and after pics but i didnt think about it at the time.so all i have is after pics.

I used some stuff at work and it worked great on my 93 head lights. I hate those little **** that stick out from it it makes it harder to rub across the lenses they are pointless if you ask me.... I wish you could sand them off
For my moms Taurus we used buffing compound and a buffer and it worked great

I replaced both of mine on my '98 Sport. Got them on ebay at 1A Auto : Aftermarket Auto Parts, Car Body Parts, Replacement & New Automobile and Truck Parts | Buy Discount Car & Auto Parts Online for around sixty four dollars and some change ($64.xx) plus they had free shipping. They have multiple listings so keep "clicking" away to you find the right price WITH free shipping. Thay are not only new headlights, but new bulbs are included also. They say in the write-up or product description that bulbs are not included but they are. I bought from the same company a few years back and got new units for a 1998 Chevy Lumina. BTW..very fast shipping also. By the time you buy products for a DYI project, plus your time involved, I think all new (for $64) is the way to go.
I was in a Walmart the other day in the auto section and saw a sign advertising they will restore your headlights for either $35 or $39. (don't remember which one ...remember my user ID OLDsport
