Would I be able to do this by hand? Like if I go buy 500, 800, 3000 grit paper and the polish. B/c I don't have a drill.

Ya im pretty sure you could do it by hand.

3000 grit is near impossible to find at any store, including industrial paint stores.
Highest I could find was 2500.

I just bought the 3m kit as well and a new mac 3inch polisher.

I can't wait to see the end result!

~UPDATE~

After a month and a few car washs/wax's. They now look better then before. GREAT DIY for those ugly headlights! On any car.

FYI! Do the finaly 3000 grit a good amount of times, to get rid of all the fine scratchs.

[D.A.V.E.]

Wow, this is great.

I thought I messed up my lights during the black-out baking. Was thinking about replacing.

Your lens looked exactly like mine did.

Woot. Yet another cheap DIY.
