You should be able to get everything at like O'Reilly Auto Parts. This is the Polishing Pad I use.

Also wet sand the headlights and do not use a circular motion. Just go up and down the headlight from top to bottom in one direction.

Dupli-Color Headlight Restoration Kit.

Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish.

Get some wet sanding paper, start at 800, then 1500, then 2000 and finish sanding with 3000 grit. Pick up some microfiber towels also.
I'm curious on using the Mag/Alu polish for the plastic. When I did a few sets I used plastic polish.
