Claying headlights before polishing?
Does anyone bother claying headlights before polishing them?
Also, does anyone have any experience with trying to restore the headlights on a Corvette like this?
How beast are those headlights to restore? Do you think sanding will be a must? Or are they cooperative by any chance?

When I restored the headlights on my 04 Ram, I bought the Meguiars medium kit

I see no reason why the kit wouldn't work for you. Even comes with a sealant. I used the kit with my GG3

Maybe find a wrecked Corvette at a junkyard and buy a headlight to test

I always sand so clay is unnecessary. 1000-2000-3000-M205-M105-AIO is my current process. I'm continuously refining.
The wet sanding needs to yield pure white milky residue with no hint of yellow in it.
The major step is the M105 which transforms the cloudy appearance to clear. The M205 further clarifies. The AIO even further clarifies.
Note: I'm not doing this for pay so I can have extra steps without paying attention to profit.
