For stupid reasons I decided to sand down my headlights in order to restore them, but now I can't fix it.

Multiple times I wet sanded it down with 800-1000-2000-3000, then I either applied clear coat or buffed it with PlastX, but no matter which method I use it sucks.

The PlastX left blotchy patches on headlight that wouldn't buff out. The best results I've gotten so far was to go straight clear coat after the sanding, but it looks uneven/gritty afterwards. How would I fix that?

Am I supposed to use PlastX after clear coating it?
