I would try the headlight restore kits before wet sanding.

Ford Motor craft Bright metal cleaner is the best and easiest to use... Trick from the old guys 35 years ago... Just rub it in like you are polishing and buff off...

if you must wet sand, i would start with a 1500, then go to 3000, then buff with a good compound.
