If it's not working for you, you're doing it wrong. I've used this exact kit on 3 different vehicles and it works perfect. You didn't spend enough time w/ the coarser discs if you still have yellow lights. My lights looked like they had scales on them they were so bad. I used the 3M kit (and some Meguiers Plastix) and they look brand spankin' new.

I know ive posted this up a few times today, but this seems to be a real issue with these cars.
Here is what i did.
I did this last night, wet sanded, then dry sanded with 2000 grit.
Then CLEARED with 1500° clearcoat dupont paint.
Here is the result....
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Cost me $0.00 I had the clear paint and sandpaper left over from other projects.
I actually just sanded, then cleared, let sit for about 30 minutes, and they were on the car over night. Clean and clear now

I just did mine and it couldn't be more simple. I used 320 on a DA sander and took down the little nubs on them, then wetsanded with 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, and then polished with a buffer and some Pre-cut cleaner. They looked as good as new. Few swirls and such, but barely noticeable. I then used some sealer glaze followed by a spray detailer (Turtlewax Ice I think) and they actually look better than new. Keep in mind, this is all stuff I just had laying around, so this cost me $0.
