Just bought the HD restore kit for my wife's Trailblazer over the weekend to clear up her badly fogged lights. Kit made a tremendous improvement but they are still far from new. Anyway, my '07 Tundra is just starting to show some fog so I used the Plastx with the wool pad to clear them up. In the daylight they looked much better, no more fog so I thought the combo worked great. That night I turned on my headlights to see what the lenses really looked like and I was very disappointed. Millions of scratches and swirls from the wool pad all over the huge lenses of the Tundra. I know the pad was a full of old product from the wife's truck so I cleaned it in water/laundry detergent agitating with the drill and my hand. Pad came out clean as a whistle so I went through the same process last night on the same headlight and I cannot get the scratches out. I even followed the wool pad with a microfiber application by hand; still no dice. I thought maybe I had the drill too fast but I read that the speed doesn't particularly matter and my drill turns 1800 rpm (cordless Hitachi). I'd hate to wet sand if I don't have to in this case. What do you think? Thanks for your help.

I did as the kit says...use the 1500 and 3000 grit and then followed up with the wool pad and plastx. My headlights turned out great. Just watch the videos and you will be fine. You can also try uc or m105 if you don't want to use the sandpaper and see what results you get with those products.
