So I noticed my fog light looks a bit off. Took them off and looked at them closer. They have some rock chips on them. I was thinking about taking it off and wet sand it starting from 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, and finish it off with 2500 or 3000 grit. What I need help is what kind of polish and uv sealant spray should I use afterwards? I just want to make sure I'm using the correct chemicals and not harm my fog lights too much.

My local auto parts store sells a headlight restoration kit for $25 (and our market is hugely overpriced compared to yours) which includes the UV sealant etc. I would check out to see what is available in your local places
