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.

Is the $25 kit for glass? I haven't seen a glass polishing kit available in local stores, but I don't live in the kind of area where I would expect to find it. To my understanding, the glass polishing kits will take care of fine scratches but won't do anything for any pitting. Here, check this thread out, specifically the next to last post.
