I get a lot of PMs about this, so I figured it was time to post up what I can do for headlights. Both my Camaro and the Civic needed it done but since the Civic is my daily, figured I'd do it first.
Process was wetsanded 1500, 2000, 2500, compound, and then polish.
What I started with

Um i'm not understanding what you are asking... I don't recommend every polish out there. There are lots of different ones that work and don't work. Megs 105 and 205 are the easiest for this though.
Yes, rotary is the best tool for the job, but requires some experience.
