    Default Tiny bit of plastic polish got on my paint...

    Would a paint cleaner solution like Meguiars deep crystal paint cleaner remove it?

    Like PlasticX? You should be able to just wipe it off without it doing anything.

    Nope..... It might have been the sandpaper that rubbed up against it possibly....

    It did not wipe off with PlastX... maybe I need to buff out my paint in that area?

    I'm assuming you were trying to wetsand your headlights? I did that to my sis' Mustang (I know you hate them ) and I just took off the headlights.

    Hopefully, the sandpaper didn't go through the clear. If so, you should be able to buff/fill it out with maybe some ScratchX or Meg's #9.

    Maybe post a picture of it?

    I will when it is light tommorow. The spots look kinda blotchy and dull...

    a tropicare dealer (probably one on houston-imports) will be able to sell you a product that will smooth out > 800 grit sand paper

    What grit of sandpaper was it? If it was something above 1500 and the clearcoat is not completely destroyed, you should be able to have someone with a rotary buffer get rid of the sanding marks.
