I had some 1000 grit laying around so I added that to the process in between the 800 and 3000. The trick to get the best results is in the first step. Make sure you get a good even haze on the entire lens. Then just do the same for the reminding steps.
To seal the lens you can wax them, but I just used some spray wax for now temporarily as I am going to add a Lamin-x layer to keep them from going yellow again

I did the same - adding Lamin-X after the 3M kit restoration + waxing. Can't believed it's almost 4 years since I did this. The Lamin-X is still holding up great. However, the wax on the headlamps (underneath the Lamin-X) are cracking at some places. But I'm still happy with the results since I didn't have to touch it for 4 years!
