Wow! Just did the 3M headlight restoration.
Only did one side. Too tired to do the passenger's side. Would like to get some daylight comparison pictures too. I had no idea my headlights were so bad until I did this. Not sure if I want to go HID's now, or just run Silverstars for a while. The headlights were so hard to change on my last car, I never messed with them in the 3 years I owned it.
I know there are other threads on this, but didn't see any with close up pix. Thought others might like to see. I plan on doing the foglights as well, but will see about removing them from the car, since they sit somewhat recessed to the bumper. Getting into the tight point near the bottom of the grill was a little difficult with the large diameter wheel they give you.
BTW, if you're going to do this, use LOTS of tape. I used 2 layers of masking tape then another 2 layers of duck tape, and kept the duck tape close by. As soon as I noticed a wear spot in the tape I added another piece or two.

Looking good. I did the Meguires Restoration and I loved the results.

My girlfriend was on pinterest and found a cheap way to clean up headlights using toothpaste. I'm going to try it out in a few days, just thought I would share.

Are you supposed to use a paste or a gel type? Maybe something with extra whitener or plaque control - don't forget to floss them when you done
Just razzing you a bit -
I've heard about this treatment but have never tried it. Would be interesting to see if it really works.
