Car accidents suck

About a month ago i was driving to the airport for work and in a construction area on I-75 i got rear-ended by another car. I called 911 but since i was in Detroit, the Detroit Police said they didn't need to come out. The damage doesn't look real bad but i slowed down to about 30mph and he had to be going around 60mph. Neither of us was hurt.
Long story short i ended up going to 3 police stations, including the state police, but finally got a police report and had my car fixed. They originally estimated the repairs at $3200 but it ended up costing $4900 and took 2 weeks to fix.

Headlights

Somehow my headlights got scuffed up, not just fogged up where you can use a buffer wheel and some special stuff in a tube to clean, but the actual outermost layer of plastic was peeling off.

Really scuffed up.
So i got out my sander, radio and a milk crate to sit on.
I sanded with 220, 400 and 1000 wet sand paper, frequently spraying the area with water.
After the 1000 grit sanding it looked much better
But as the water on the lights dried, they started to fog over.
The last thing i did was to spray the lights with a clear coat. This really got rid of the scratches and fogginess and made the lights a lot clearer.
Good as new...almost.
