I just saw another post about headlight restoration and I didn`t want to take anything away from his post so I decided that since I have done 3 restorations in the past week I would post mine in this thread. Enjoy!
My usual process is:
Tape around each light
Wetsand with 1000 grit
Optimum Compound with 4" LC Purple foamed wool
Polish and seal with Optimum Poli-seal with 4" LC white pad
Remove tape
Clean front end

I know, I know, I took the finished pics before I cleaned up.
