Just to clarify, as scubachris stated.
You can use 2000 grit sandpaper and above followed by a buffing to restore mildly faded headlights. In that instance, you are only removing the upper surface of the clear coat, just as with most normal wet sanding. Depending on how much clear remains, the headlights could last many more years before any other action is required. This is a very simple and quick solution that again, can last many years if the clear is still in overall good shape.
Otherwise, if attempting to remove all of the original clear coat in order to apply a fresh clear coat; then rougher sandpaper is necessary but nothing above 600 grit. 400 and 600 grit insures that the fresh clear coat will have something to adhere to.
I've done this in both fashions on many vehicles. I've never used the PPF as rorz suggests though, which might be an even better consideration. I just don't have experience with that.
God Bless,
Ralph
