Since sandpaper is highly abrasive it&#8217;s very effective at getting all the nastiness off your lens. Wipe away the excess residue with a rag.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"2\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Once you&#8217;ve gotten all the haze and oxidation off, take your polish and apply it in circular motions across your headlight cover.
