the reason for doing this is the same reason why the factory does it when it comes out, to protect it from having to be done again, longer lasting from the suns uv rays that cause that nasty yellowing...if you dont believe me, when you start sanding on a headlight watch really closly in the sun while using 1600 grit to start off and see the clear being cut through...factory is the best when it comes to lights...
basically, all he is doing is spraying them with laquer, this will not last anywhere near as long as the durable glass and will be stone chipped again within weeks!!!
Actually the complete process is using 3 types of sandpaper, ending with the white one for polishing. Once you take out all the yellowish, and is all smooth, you'll need to spray liquid plastic, combined with a gas, (probably nitrogen), the gas is used to accelerate the drying process. Apply two coats and let it dry for 8 to 10 hours. I would recommend to tape all around the headlight or to take it off the car for a cleaner job.

no, dont polish....just sand then spray, if you polish you'll have runs in your clear because the clear will want to slide off insead of stick evenly
