Why is this your 3rd separate post on this? You received a few answers and other solutions so you wouldn't have to buy new ones.

That product is crap!!!! Wasted my time, hours:angryfire, and made it worse. Just get an electric buffer and go to town with polish rubbing compound and then wax.

I used the meguiars kit with good results but I did wet sand the lenses first with 1000 wet dry paper. If I were to do it again I would work through the different paper grades detailed by some of the threads to prep the lens and the polish win the meguiars stuff.

Id' like to polish mine as well and have considering getting the 3M kit. I've used my electric buffer on a few cars and got good results using scratch-remover type wax, but I've yet to try a rubbing and/or polishing compound. Hey Vin, since you've gone as far as wet sanding, what grades would you have done?

No offense, but I've seen it go both ways...sometimes it comes down to proper use, if people are trying to rush it, etc. I know it comes with a few "harsh" pads, so I imagine that you've got sanding gouges in your headlights then? I'm still considering getting this kit, but then again it's probably nothing I couldn't figure out with just good ol' wetsanding and using my electric buffer like I have in the past.
