Repeat wet sand and wipe off the sandpaper grit until all heavier oxidation is removed, leaving only a light haze just from the 2000 grit sandpaper.

Repeat Meguiar's application, rub, dry and wipe off till headlights are clear to your liking. Once your headlights are in good condition, keep them that way by at least annually, wash, apply Meguiar's, rub off any haze, let Meguiar's dry and wipe off. Meguiar's is good on the car's paint as well. Other liquid combo polish and wax brands work too, such as Toyota Sealant Cleaner and Mothers Cleaner Wax.
