Thanks, this was my first attempt at something like this. I'm more used to turning wrenches instead of trying to make cars look better. Now I have people wanting to pay me to clean there lights.

So where do you get this SSR2.5 and the PB Final Polish? I have never heard of them. I have the 2000 grit sandpaper and the cordless drill ready to go...Thanks for the help, I hope i achieve the same results.

I once wetsanded and polished my headlights on my bimmer and it came out fantastic. Then I noticed that the haze would come back with a vengeance every 3 months or so. I heard that if the polish or sand to aggressively, it takes off some kind of protective coating. I'm afraid to do anything but a mild polish now.
