    They now sell everything in a kit.

    Meguires extreme Headlight Kit I think. I wet sanded with the 3m.

    Used it. Not perfect but better. Perfect is new. =)

    Hey Jo, not sure if you read my thread on headlight polishing but I too did it that way, (think I finished with 2000 grit) and it turned out fine. One thing I did since in my arm chair engineering mind, I think you lose surface tension (can't think how else to put it) by sanding. I went to a shop that has done tint and pin strip work on 4 of my cars and had him cover my lights in lexan to protect them. That was the summer of 06. I haven't seen any deterioration what so ever. Haven't done anything since other then washings. Just something to consider.

    Results were good Rick.
    I've done it this way before,about 5 years ago...so thats pretty good.
    .
    Rowhard..I agree that 2000 ( even 3000) to finish is a good way to go..
    ..couldnt get any, so used the "used" 1500 lightly as a last sanding.

    .
    I think the kit is overkill...and expensive.
    Sponge buffer/one sheet of 1500 and half a bottle of PastX did two VX's.

    I also tend to put my dark h/light covers on during summer..so that helps.
