Anyway, the 3M kit did a beautiful job. It brought both units back to factory clarity. Not bad for $25. After going through the process, I'd advise using a kit that includes a drill. I can't imagine doing that amount of abrasion by hand.
Unfortunately our cars are prone to the headlight issue. My '06 never did have the problem though, so maybe later models had the plastic improved a bit. I used the 3M kit as well followed up by Meguiars PlasticX.
