Great job. Hit them up with some clear coat so they won't turn yellow in a few weeks.

i didnt need to clear coat them cause the kit comes with a sealer that prevents your headlights from future hazing... and whats great about the sealer is it can be applied to any glass or clear plastic surface to remove waterspots or anything a wash wouldnt get off... i did my lights 6 months ago and they look the same as when i did them and i havnt even applied a new layer of the sealer they recomend about once every 6 months or so.

For the first time in my life I (mostly) followed the directions with the 3M kit, and they came out great. They're not perfect, but I only put about a half hour into each light.

Yea I put about 1 hour into each light and I can't be happier I think any kit is good it just depends on time put into it. I just liked the kit that z06joe offered cause it came with the backing pads sandpaper and compound and polish to do well over 30 uses which is a lifetime basically... n e ways that's my 2 cents on it...
