Came out allright though I made a boo boo with the UV coating so that will be repeated soon.

The 3M headlight polishing kit is pretty good. Comes with actual sandings discs and then polish. My experience is that the UV coatings aren't *that* beneficial. You're going to have to re-do eventually no matter what, and they can be finicky to put on.

Also tried a polishing machine I got a long time ago to tackle some scratches on the hood, not perfect but 80% reduced. Small battery powered polishers are absolutely woefully incapable of tackling any size of car.... so just did two sections and let the puny thing cool off before it would burst into flames

I just picked up the Milwaukee M18 orbital polisher. Thanks to delivery issues, I didn't get to try it on my pickup like I wanted to, but I'm looking forward to testing that out. All of the reports that I've seen were positive enough that it was a coin toss between that and the Rupes.
