Meguiar's headlight treatment..
Put some time in yesterday to get through the oxidization and light scratches. I didn't do any sanding beforehand, probably would have been overkill.

(Random, but the sealant smells really good. Can't say I wouldn't use a Meg's deodorant...)
Results..
~80-90%
Not perfect by any means.. certainly learned a few things for future application. One or two small spots relapsed slightly, but I can't complain. The difference is still... clear?
20 bucks well spent.

Oxidation is a naturally re occurring event that collects on the surface of a object.
Opticoat will oxidize just like any thing else exposed to heat and moisture.
When that happens you have to do the job all over again.
Thats just one reason why a deoxidizer is a smarter choice.
We know about sand paper kits, there's nothing special between the lot.
sandpaper is sandpaper no matter what brand, meguire, 3M an so on.
Sandpaper has been around since ancient times and it should only be used in extreme situations where the entire lens surface needs to be resurfaced.
Sandpaper wet or dry is not a solution to acrylic oxidation, its the beginning of new problems that will eventually result in headlight replacement.
