Turtle wax make a headlight restorer. There is no sandpaper involved, just loads of elbow grease.

Sandpaper isn't that big a deal as long as you use a high enough grit e.g. 2000 followed by 4000. That DIY of mine (thanks Slidey) gets rid of the foginess but would also get rid of any sandpaper marks.

Sure isn't 2000 grit used to flatten paintwork and even in paint correction?
