I suppose the sanding step kind of nullifies this possibly..?
Washing oxidized headlights with Comet will chew or abrade "some" of the dead, oxidized plastic off but you're correct - if you're already planning on sanding them then washing first with Comet would be redundant.

Do you use it only on white or would you use it on other colors as well. I'm sure the abrasion would be pretty frightening to see on a darker color...even if you know it will be polished out.
Good questions. "Yes" I have used it on colored cars but ALL were SINGLE STAGE. It's important that everyone understands this.
