If you think you did a nice job, you probably did, but it's really hard to tell with those pictures, no lighting to see imperfections.
 
Alright, I gotta say it, did you really need to start with 800 grit on those lights? (visions of Marty the headlight detailer, on location, dance thru my head) Those befores don't look that bad, or were those not really the befores? Afters look really good, tho.
 
Nothing wrong with using 800 grit to start with. Especially if you do further refining. Better to sand out defects than buff them.



Lights look good btw.
 
When the sun was out i checked my work with ipa wipe, i got about 90% im still learning to take good after shots, ill take some better pics as i go along, as for the headlight, they were pretty bad when i started, starting with 800 maybe not needed but first time needed to see what i was dealing with
