Have a good friend who just polished his '02 C4 headlights. They looked Opaque when he brought the car home. He used the 3-M kit and they now look like new. He also added a slightly darker film over them which toned down the bright silver look and makes them blend into the Midnight blue finish a lot better. I believe the 3-M kit uses a 3000 grit sanding disc to initially clear the old surface off. As with all of these 'fixes' it pays to proceed with caution and leave the beers until the job is done.
