Headlight Restore

So this is my experience with restoring my headlights, Sylvania Restore Kit. Not a how to as I followed the instructions and video.
The Sylvania kit is highly rated but wasn't available in any local auto parts store so I had to Amazon it.
Will there ever be a time I don't have to buy something for this car that isn't only online????????
So pics are before, aft. first 400 grit sand, aft. compound paste and Finished light
There are 3 sanding phases, 400, 1000 and 2000. Pretty scary completely destroying expensive headlights. My shoulder is still aching
Pic is of worst but it came out the best. The other light I could not sand to the complete haze. I'm guessing the coating was in much better shape so I couldn't get it completely off.
The last phase is applying the UV protective coating that clarifies all the haze. I'm happy with the results
