uhh i found out that i thought it was 1000 and it was 320 grit sand paper...and it looks horrible. i bought the compound and i used just that on the right light and it looks brand new. but i am stuck with one hella foggy left head light....i cant fix it =(
if i buy 1000 grit sand paper and wet sand it again and do the procces over will it be fine?

You can't just jump from 320 to 1000. Work your way up in grit, each stage of paper will remove the deep scratchs from before. So next use like 600 grit to bridge the gap between 320 and 1000.
