Headlights on my Bora are a state. Anyone used and actually got good results with a restoration kit. Seem to be lots available. Tempted by the drill operated 3m kit.

Yeah they're all pretty much alike, I used the Megs one and it worked well.

I'm not convinced with the ones that suggest you use the drill for the actual wet and dry bit, that bits fine by hand. Only the polishing needs the drill.

Suppose the drill is just supposed to be easier. Watched a few YouTube vids. Think I will go with it

Are they plastic or glass?

Mine are plastic and stone chipped and i had decent results going from low to high grades of wet n dry and finished up using some g3 polishing compound.
