I got pretty good results using a video by Chris Fix. And its not just a cut and buff method, its new clear coat as well. This old fashion way seemed to give me better results than the mothers sanding disks system I tried previously on these same headlights. Additionally I did follow up by using the polishing ball that came with the Mothers kit and used the same cutting compound, polish and wax from the Meguiar's paint correction kit I used on my paint to get out the orange peel and give them a wax protectant. The clear headlights Im restoring now will get six light coats of clear coat not just the three that Chris did, and I did on these pictured, as they had more pitting that didnt come out with sanding. Just a thought...
