Did you seal the headlights afterwards?
Mine need redoing even though I sealed them but that was two years ago.

Started with 600 grade wet and dry and worked my way to 2000 grade - took about 30mins per side. Use loads of water and a spot of detergent helps keep things moving. I finished them with T Cut on a soft cloth. I have used Mothers Polish before now and have heard of tooth paste being used as the abrasive.
