step 2 is polishes and buffing tools. i have never tried this by hand im sure it would work but wow it would be tough lots of hand work here, but here are the tools and polishes i used.

step 3 is actually step 1 in the process use the heavy cut (85 in this case)

apply this to the headlight surface and spread around semi evenly

use the course pad in the buffing kit and buff till polish is gone off the light.

the first cut will take 98% of the haze off the housing steps 2 and 3 are for polishing to shine. you will use this
