Wetsand with 1000 grit sandpaper throroughly making sure you don't miss any spots. Repeat w/ 1500 grit. Then polish thoroughly with Meguairs Plasticx plastic polish (I think thats the full name, if not than its close. When I did my headlamps I did it 5 coats per headlight. Then, use any wax and put several layers, I again did 5 layers. I was excessive because many people that do this have their headlights fog up within a few months, but mine still look great after 7 months.

if you're going to seal them back up i'd reccomend a good bead of Ultra Black Permatex. Not a big bead but one that'll seal completely. Some people also use the Clear Flowable silicone. It's not as messy but doesn't hold up as well.
