I bought a 3m headlight polishing kit and thought I would review it. In the process I totally overhauled the headlight polishing article.
http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q_how_to/multi/headlight_polishing.htm
The 3M headlight polishing kit did turn the cloudy and foggy lens to clear but I found that it had too many 500 discs and not enough lighter disks. The lower number grit is rougher. There were a lot of 500 grit, a few 800 grit, only 1 3000, and enough polish for 1 car's headlights+taillights/sidemarkers.
If I were to put together my own kit it would include 3 500 grit, 4 800 grit, 2 3000 grit, and enough polish for a at least 2 cars. The 3M kit is oddly proportioned but it's a good value since I bought it off ebay instead of paying MSRP. A kit that doesn't use power tools will work but it'll just take a heck of a lot longer and with a lot more effort.
