Hi Xidamaaa,
Thank you for the photos of the process. Did you do the process by hand or with a machine? And if you used a machine can you share what brand and model you used?
Thank you!

So I found out that the 500 grit sanding pads that came with the kit were not enough for my headlights so I went down to 210. This took care of the tiny cracks but the scratches were deep and they were not easy to polish with higher grits. So I would agree with some people on this thread that 320 grit is probably a better starting point.
After 210 grit, I used 320 and 400 before returning to the 3M kit and picking up 500. Then it was the kit all the way. The result was not perfect as there were still some scratches but the clear coat that came with the 3M kit took care of those. It made a huge difference!
Appreciate all the contributions in the thread here. I couldn’t have done this without all your help!
