Thanks.

For even better results, it's best to wet sand the lenses first, then polish. 3M Trizact pads are superb for this and are available to fit a DA polisher.

Thanks Keith. Is the 3M Trizact the same as what's in the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit?
I'm going to get the nose repainted and then covered with Xpel so I'll probably do the lights again and try 3m Trizact at that time.

Yep they are. That kit has everything you pretty much need.

I would reccommend getting the Opticoat permanent headlight coating after youre dont though.
