Default Just got 1 piece headlights: How to refinish / Installation tips?

Yep, as the topic says, i just got them from a co-worker's cousin for 300. Theyre in great shape but they have some scuff marks on the left one. The right one is in better shape (neither have scrapes or anything like that on them). How have you guys cleaned yours up? I've heard of re-finishing them by wetsanding them with very fine sandpaper then spraying a few clear coats on them but i don't think i want to do that. I was thinking about just waxing and polishing them. Will that work? has anybody else tried either of these ideas?

Also, are there any tips you guys could give me that would help my insalation go faster? They came with the harnesses and everything so i just need to splice the wires, solder them together then get some heat shrink on them. Is that right? I know i have to take off my bumper to get them in right. Any tips?

there is this thing called "glass polish" or something like that. my friend uses it on his car and it works great, the lights turn out looking like new... i'll ask him where to get it.
