I sand my headlights wet in all stages, but I don't think that would make much difference
Are they hazy or scratchy looking?

Looks like your not removing all the sanding marks.
What pad and size of pad are you using with M105 and what speed?

Did you spend enough time at each grit to remove the previous grit's sanding marks?
Doesn't seem to be any uniformity-especially in the center of the yellow reflector.
I prefer wetsanding plastic because I can see uniformity, and when to switch to next grit as I spritz on the lube to remove the slurry.
