Im so glad you mentioned this. Most detailers do correct tailights but rarely show it being done

Great job indeed! Thinking aloud (again) - if the wet sanding imparts more scratches into the plastic what sort of result would you get if you omitted that stage and just used a cutting/polishing compound to do the whole job?
I'm pretty sure headlights have some kind of hard surface layer which definitely gets polished away when restoring them like this but you can buy a dedicated headlight coating spray to apply afterwards. I had my headlights restored years ago and they went bad again after just a few years, I'm pretty sure it was because the guy polished away the coating so as you said always worth giving them some kind of protection afterwards. Obviously the headlights take a proper battering at the front end of any car so a nice hard surface layer is definitely a great idea. They sell the spray on stuff on eBay for sure. Keep up the great vids please mate (sorry I don't know your name!)

Steve Rabbits - Thanks again. You can get ‘good’ results just using a compound and/or polish ... but to get them scratch free would require multiple attempts. At times it’s less aggressive to use sandpaper as you get the desired scratch free result much sooner. It sounds counter productive but it’s less stressful on the plastic. The same would also apply to paintwork as discussed in our ‘Damp Sanding’ video.
Most lights have a layer of lacquer. Its main job on lights is UV protection more so than protection from debris. You are correct in saying that this process would remove most of this lacquer so protecting them after is important. Regular use of a good sealant e.g CarPro ReLoad is fine but for long term protection we normally use CarPro DLux Ceramic Coat. You can buy dedicated headlight lacquers if required. A big mistake many novices make is using normal lacquer. This should be avoided at all costs as normal lacquer refracts light badly and causes headlights to project the light inconsistently!
We didn’t use DLux on this occasion as we were working on rear lights which de-colour less than clear lights, and we are reserving DLux for a future video.
Thanks Steve ... 👍🏽🤓😎
