let the sandpaper soak in the water for about a minute before starting.
tape off around your head light the plast x can make a mess on your paint.

start wetsanding your headlight. make sure you have moisture on the sand paper at all times. i went in a grid pattern to make sure i did everything evenly. wipe off the water occasionally so you can see your progress.

start applying the palst x using the buffing pad. i again went in the same grid pattern wiping off the extra plast x after each pass. i did three passes until i was done.

the more work you put into this the better results you will get. it took me about a half hour to do this job completely. i did three wetsands and three polishes on each headlight and i think i got good results.
