6th gen accord, any help is appreciated

so im trying to restore headlamps on 99 accord, they are plastic
the headlamps are faded and output is getting low

-first i will wetsand from 600 up to 2000 grit
-but what product of polish should i use to buff with?
-finally what product to cover/finish everything with. i have heard some type of uv sealant/protector so that the yellow/fog look does not come back? any suggestions?

I used PlastX polish on my fogs, works very well. That and I used a Dremel with a buffer wheel.

Use Brasso... That stuff is intended to attack the oxidation that causes hazyness...

use 1000-2000 grit, u want to sand the faded clear, not the actual plastic
usea buffing compund, first, and finish with a polishing compund

high speed buffer is a good choice

also when ur sanding, sand from side to side, softly, not up and down

i would use plastic polish considering it's for plastic. later.

so everything seems clear to me except what to use as UV protection so the faded/fog look does not return.

You should be good for another 5-10 years so don't worry.
