Came out allright though I made a boo boo with the UV coating so that will be repeated soon.
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  |
Best way to go on the headlights is use the 3m kit, then, instead of the UV coating, spray them with high gloss. I used this stuff:

It works great and has held up very well and doesn't yellow. It's a two part material, so it is the same as what the body shops are using.
