Using Sandpaper on HeadlightsNo you should never use sandpaper on your headlights.

Using sandpaper to clean headlights is an archaic, low tech approach to a modern problem.

Only someone who does not understand the difference between plastic objects and a plastic refractive lens would consider using something as aggressive as sandpaper on plastic headlights.

Sandpaper strips away the surface of the lens along with the factory protective UV coating. You actually have to resurface your headlight when you use sandpaper. And no aftermarket kit or sealer can replace the UV layer to oem specs.

Polish is a better solution than Sandpaper but it too can also remove part of the lens surface. A pure liquid Deoxidizer is the best solution for removing oxidation without damaging the lens surface.

What is wet sandpaper and how does it differ from dry sandpaper in terms of its application and effectiveness?

Wet sandpaper is sandpaper that is designed to be used with water or a lubricant to reduce friction and prevent clogging. It is typically used for wet sanding, which is a technique used for smoothing surfaces and finishing materials. Wet sandpaper is more effective for achieving a smooth finish on surfaces that are prone to overheating or clogging when dry sanding. Dry sandpaper, on the other hand, is used without any additional lubrication and is better suited for rougher surfaces or materials that do not require a fine finish.
