Thats how i’ve done my DRL’s and a few sets of headlights, they’ve come out awesome. As long as you work your way up grit by grit, you’ll be taking out the scratches the past sand paper left. G3 and G10 work great, yes. If your brave bust out the orbital polisher, but watch out not to burn on corners or if theirs nubs on the headlights.
