If you dont sand down until you get rid of the rock marks (most of them, anyway) then you will never really be happy with the turnout, but keep in mind, if there are deep ones, you may not be able to get them out, only make them look a little less noticeable by knocking off the edges...
I used this kit from 3M:

Restoring a Headlight 3M US DIY drill drills clean cleans clear clears restore restores cloud cloudy haze hazy scratch scratches scratchs yellow yellows headlights fog light lights tail taillight taillights signal plastic plastics car cars auto autos

Not to totally hijack the thread, but what should I be using? Please be specific about what grade, etc.
