    Thanks Ken, trying to source the right kit now. 3M seems to be the number 1 product but it doesn't come with sealant. Did you wet sand by hand or did you use a drill with an attachment?

    On the Porsche headlights I used a drill with an attachment - there was no need for sanding them. They're plastic too, so I didn't fancy leaving myself putting too much heat into them trying to get them back to a decent state. Just did the E30 headlights, which are glass, and I needed to wetsand some hazing first.
