for your headlight, i would try some light polish first and see if you can get it back with that....after that you might want to try some plastic polish....my last resort would be wet sanding....i always polish right over my headlights and tail lights when i polish my car....

clean your seat cover with any otc leather cleaner....
 
I would start out with a light compound and a light cutting pad. Then finish it off with a polish. Do you have a PC or machine polisher?
 
Wet sanding the headlight will result in a dull / hazed look. Sanding will remove the layer of scratches UV damage, etc. That is why you will need to follow up with a light compound, and try different pads, start with a light cutting pad. You may have to use a more aggressive pad depending on how it comes out. Then move back to a light cut pad, then finally move up to a polish, followed up with a sealant. Hope this helps.
 
i am going to use 3m rubbing compound and then meguiar plasticX,
Wetsand i am going to use 600 and then 2000
good idea?
 
clearcoat the headlamps once polished correctly to prevent reoccurrence or use Plexus on them weekly.
 
Re: the headlights. If they're slightly oxidized, start with the least abrasive method first. You may find that some very mild plastic polish will remove the light coat of oxidation and there's no need to abrade the uv coating from the lens. Finish the job with a good sealant for protection.
I wouldn't wetsand or even use a compound until milder methods are tried first.
