They look like they came out pretty good... are they still cloudy but baby ass smooth? or can you still feel imperfections in the plastic.

If the plastic is perfectly smooth it could be 2 things. 1 is gm lights are notorious (with me anyway) for clouding on the inside of the lens I've seen it on a bunch of gm trucks including my own and my dad's. Second it could just be that your plastic polish wasnt strong enough to remove all the scratches from wetsanding completely in which case you just need a heavier polish.

Also once you finish them up i highly suggest getting laminex or something similar to cover them with. I know it sounds stupid but when I did the headlights on my truck it seemed like after wetsanding it made the plastic softer (maybe the outside layer is harder from the manufactuering process) but either way it seemed like they got cloudy and chipped up quicker.
